Stop in for a cup of coffee
Just heard from Frank at Vacu-Ornametal. Its all ready to ship back, but when they were doing multiple layers of chroming somehow they weren't able to mask the backside. :( So now I'm trying find out the best way to blackout where needed.
The metal lens holders should be untouched. It will just be the plastic that got chromed.
He said they use SEM Landau Black for interiors on the detail work. So current plan is a off-white SEM from a spray can. That should stick to the chromed plastic. Then some sort of flat black from the airbrush in blackout sections.
Just figuring there was a darn good reason they blacked out those areas. Don't want any stray light or glare after its all installed.
Sure did. Of course now I've got to do something I really didn't want to do myself! Desoldering is an art, or at least a skill.
