Before.


After.


There's about six coats of airbrush matte black applied with an HVLP touch up gun.

I had intended to use my new d/a airbrush, but I've never opened the package in the two years since I bought it. Lo and behold, no air hose. So I broke out the HVLP squirter.

This will sound even worse than the airbrush, but I bought the HVLP touch up gun, a full size HVLP gun, and a Chinese copy of the old Binks 7 gun*, like ten years ago and never took those out of the packages, either. :oops: The project I bought those for kind of went away before I could start it.

Long story short, it took me longer to deal with the lack of QC and set up the touch up gun than it took to paint the dash panel. The cracks are pretty well hidden but the rumple is still evident. I may have to find a decal of the Pirate that adorns my key fob to cover it.




*I worked at Binks for 23 years. Right up until they turned out the lights and shut the door. :( Seven years from completion of '30 and out'.
