It's easier not to put black color on sides with this brush (According to me)

Correct  ;)

The brush I'm using is more like a sponge than a simple paint brush. There's no 'hair' on it.
You can paint without making colors spots nor 'run-out' paint on the side for instance.

T-Molding time. Tools of the day  :arrow:



Let's start ...

What!? Maybe I went too hard  :shock:  :evil:  :arrow:



 :evil: :evil: :evil: I was too quick on this  :evil: I didn't check the trench, but a some points the trench wasn't depth enough for this US T-molding ! I though it was because I putted too much glue, and so... I so I struck too hard with the 'soft customized hammer'  :evil:
Well, I also have to say that the wood used for this cab is just ...too fragile  8) I also saw some nails inside the trench  :o :ghost: I should pay more attention to the trench before starting the work  :?

Ok, let's correct this *stupid* mistake! Wood filler first...and let's bring back my good old router, in order to dig the correct trench depth :



What a mess after the 'Router' work ... I really need a workshop for such operation  :roll:



Ok, now I'm sure the trench is ok everywhere on this side...  I can put T-Molding ...



Same operation on the other side... and this is it :



Fortunately, I have the *exact* yellow color, so it was not too difficult to hide the 'corner mistake'  ::) :P

Well spotted!  ;D

Not really in fact  ;) I use to do that when I clean paintbrush for example  :P 8)

...and back on the control panel, which is ready to receive the CPO.  8)

The two holes done on that repro panel are not accurate as you can see.  :arrow:



At this point, I'm not sure if the original "players buttons", after 'screwed', will cover the missing part of the overlay because... I still have to find the perfect 'compromise position'...yes, there is an other hole to fit, the one for the joystick (not showed on the picture), and for that hole, I cannot cheat... opss... stop talking  :oops: , you'll understand on the coming pictures  ::) :P

So, just in case  :arrow:



This is the same yellow used on the side / CPO... so just in case  ;)

Here's the screws I'll use for fixing the joystick on the panel  :arrow:



I would like to paint them in the same yellow color than the panel... so here's my world famous 'mushrooms' pictures  ;D  :arrow:



Quizzz  8) What is the support used on these two last pictures  ::) ;D ;D ;D  :arrow:

 ;D in that case, I've use a candy a chocolate box... I don't remember the name (I don't have the box anymore), but these are famous  :P  ;D You've to keep these chocolates in your fridge by the way  :roll: Ok back to the topic  :lol: :arrow:

Wait!...maybe you will recognize them, because of the box shape  ::)  :arrow:



Easy painting  :P :





...and after one day of drying, I'll 'drop' the screws once again inside the paint for a second layer.

It's time to apply the CPO.



Three holes to adjust : two for the players buttons, and one for the joystick. I give the priority to the Joystick one. This last one must be perfectly adjusted or it would look ugly!... but because of that, there is a small shift for the players button ones  :arrow:



That should not be a problem, because the buttons will hide the small shift  ;)

The major tool for applying a CPO in a curved panel : a dry hair  :arrow:



Applied and cutted  :-*  :arrow:

let's 'populate' the panel  :)  :arrow:



mmhhhh... the paint I've used for painting the screws is too 'heavy'... even after weeks of drying ...it's still not completely dry, see  :arrow:



OK, I'll prepare a new set of screws with a yellow paint, done -like I use do to- with spray. During this time, let's use unpainted screws...



On location... not too bad  :-*



First test... I'm using the original plastic bezel around the monitor... but, even with the bezel glass, both don't hide wires  :-\ ... see  :arrow:





OK, let's create a 'third' bezel... like this  :arrow:





Perfect now  :-*  :arrow:

Your third bezel is a class touch!

Ah, the chocolate shape: aren't they "gianduiotti"?  ::)
