In the morning, I painted the resin coin slots silver. When I got home in the evening, they were dry, so I gave them a loose fitting in the skins.

Later on, I painted the wooden cylinder holders white. No apparent disasters that I can see.

This weblog documents my (mis)adventures in attempting to build my own R2D2.

During my paint problems,
I never had a problem painting the Enamels during rainy weather.
But that clearcoat and the Duplicolor blue, Man that stuff is picky about the weather.
I'm still JEALOUS of that Aluminum showing through the seams, Thats how I wanted mine to look, But I had a problem with the Aluminum skins and had to go the all white standard.
Calvin,
Did you ever post pics of your final success? I'd love to see any.

I going to post some this weekend.
I'm being super carefull and painting only 1 piece at a time.
So the paint dust does not effect the panels.
So far I have 4 perfect panels and they look like glass.
