Dome Paint 2

After a full week of waiting, since if you stop mid painting you have to wait an entire week before you can apply more coats, I finally got back to the shop to finish the paint on R2.


It was even colder so I had to heat the shop even longer before starting on R2, I worked on the cabinet for the bathroom that I promised my wife 4 months ago while I waited for the shop to warm up.

Having decided R2 was still a little too purple for my tastes I put one more coat of anodized blue on, which made 3 coats total, I then cleared it using Rustoleum Clear as per the Krider method.

Again because of lack of pictures you get to see only the end result.

I obviously also peeled the tape and paper off and you can see the silver needs some work yet, get rid of the over spray hit it with some rub n buff etc etc.  But I think it came out pretty good.  It is a hair darker than I would have originally hoped for but in the light it looks good.  Few minor blems on the paint job where I peeled the tape a little too soon, but I think I can fix those where its hard to tell.

All in all I am very happy.
