Finished Painting R5 Dome Neck Ring Window Fillers

Today I finished painting the 3D-printed segments that are backed by card stock for the R5 dome's neck ring.

Earlier I had applied a gray base coat. Today I wanted to apply a light top coat of aluminum.



I am going for a semi-weathered/industrial look, so I didn't want to completely obscure all the gray.



Once the paint had dried to the touch, I did a test-fit into one of the 16 neck ring slots to see how it looked. These segments will be friction-fit into place, and they will be removable.



Looks good enough to me. Soon I'll install all of them to see how the whole dome ring looks, but I think I'm done with the painting portion.
