The first picture is a comparison with one side of the chain smoothed out and the rest of the chain untouched.  After sanding the rest of the chain, the chain is painted using Alclad II Jet Exhaust as the base and final color.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 177_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 177_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 190_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 190_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the primed parts were wet sanded using a 3200 grit sanding mesh.  The purpose of this is to smooth out the surface of the parts prior to applying paint.  Each successive layer of paint inherites the surface attributes of the previous layer, so it is important to smooth out the rough surface prior to painting.  In the following pictures, you should be able to discern the rough look of the part&#8217;s surface, then compare that to the surface in the last picture where the part is completely smooth.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 179_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 179_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 180_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 180_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 181_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 181_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While doing the wet sanding process, I was a little too rough with Velvet&#8217;s eye lash detail, and broke it.  It is a very thin layer of resin, so this needed a quick repair.  Light curing putty is placed on, allowed to cure, then sanded down, and finally reprimed to check the fix.  The total repair time was roughly 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 182_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 182_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 183_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 183_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 184_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 184_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[4]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/images\/velvet_prog 185_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/velvet_prog 185_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I got some quick work done on Velvet.
