Misting<\/p><\/div>\n

After the paint dried it was time to apply a misting of silver to the tricorder and scanner. Misting is holding the paint source about two feet away from the subject and applying the paint in short passes. This gives a light coat of the secondary paint. The kit instructions call for Krylon Bright Silver (#1401), but I opted for Krylon’s Dull Aluminum (#1403) since I already had it. Be careful not too apply too much silver, but if you do, it can easily be undone by misting the basecoat back over.<\/p>\n

Next, I masked off the scanner pocket and EMRG area on the lower door. Please note that I deviated from the instructions with regard to this step. The instructions call for these areas to be painted black prior to priming. To be honest, I got a little ahead of myself and skipped over that step. Instead, I masked off the areas here and applied Krylon’s Ultra-Flat Black (# ). Whether the paint is gloss or flat really doesn’t have much impact at this step since the overall gloss will be determined by the final clear coat. Also, I would always recommend following the instructions, but it’s important to realize some steps are interchangeable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
