I reckon it looks pretty cool in that stealth bomber grey.

Nope, it's going black. At least it will do if I can ever get the damn undercoats flat.

I know how you feel. Going through a bit of that myself with refinishing the Swampy after it fell on it's face a few weeks ago.

Well this one is going back in it's Box for a while.
I have other projects going on that require less frustrating effort to complete, and haven't yet pissed me off as badly as trying to get this thing flat.
We shall reconvene once I can be arsed sanding this back bare and starting again.

Ow.
I hope you've tried swearing at it very loudly so that it's quaking in its (virtual) boots, and now knows who's boss and will comply to your every whim in future.
Mmm, yes. Bad Words. Many bad words at high volume.Originally Posted by Simon Barden

was it only bad near the cavity edges? ..
would painting (sealing at least) all cavities help? . possibly excluding set neck? ..and maybe bolt on too? wouldnt bare edges best be coated?"
not to question the lab, just curious

Guvna I’ve only myself to blame. I should have take more note of the brittleness of the edges. There is a thin skin applied to the back of this and that is what has caused the issue. It has bubbled in the corner of the control cavity, and it is what is causing the chipping at the edge of the switch cavity.
I should have just sanded the bugger off and gone “thin line”.
