September 30, 2019Damn! The seam is still pretty visible. I guess I need to fix it.13
September 30, 2019Also looks like I need to blend the edges a bit better. Time for more paint!14

October 6, 2019Repainted blue looks good. Now masked for the aluminium.16
October 6, 2019The aluminium along the edges, but there always seems to be a bit of overspray. Needs more touch ups.17
