Got the paint off the side panel today and cleaned up the flame pattern a bit with the Dremel
Started off with 100 grit paper for removal
heres a shot of the underlying primer from the first paint
Finished with the 100 grit rotary sander...
went around the extruded edge with a Dremel to get the hard to reach paint
Kept it around 3 for sanding
Done sanding with the Dremel, look closely
heres a closeup of the Dremel work
Finished the day off with 220 grit paper to smooth things out
Pretty much smooth except where the Dremel went
Closeup
Now with the panel sanded, I'm liking the look of the bare metal and am considering polishing it out and not painting it for a while...who knows.
Panel with the glass behind
Rough idea of what it would look like re-assembled
That's it for Day 3! Remember, follow the blog and check back frequently to check on my build! Thanks!
