Well, I got everything mounted up and glued in place. However, I noticed an area on the right side that had a weird low spot. I didn't notice it until I had everything mounted up. Sometimes that happens. Some imperfections don't pop out at you until you get the finishing coats of paint on. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it until the units were glued in place. You can see the weird spot I circled here:  That is not acceptable to hand over to the customer, so I need to fix it. The nice thing about this SEM Texture Coat is that I can go in and spot cover areas without having to re-shoot the entire project. So I first removed the unit on the right, then sanded down that area a little to get rid of the anomaly. I then taped off the smooth area behind it and hit the area, and a little of the surrounding area, with a little bit of texture coat. Next I had to put the final finish color back on. That is also the nice thing about the SEM paints is that they spot blend flawlessly. So I removed the tape from the smooth area and shot the entire right side of the shroud with the SEM Satin Black again.... DONE! Finished results:    The last thing I have to do is polish the customer's clear plastic front for his stock cluster. I sanded down the inside and outside today with 1200, 1500, then 2000 grit. I then buffed it with a Pinnacle XMT Heavy Duty Swirl Remover #4 Polishing Compound. I used an air powered 3" mini polisher with a wool pad to do so. I will follow that up with compound #'s 3, 2 and 1 using various foam pads on the same mini polisher. |

Very nice. It's good to hear that the SEM products blend very nicely. It turned out great (like I expected otherwise). |
