Alright here we have it a FP Budget lid one of FP's copies before he sold the molds to ASOK. Great lid light and everything is all molded on so there is nothing to attach except for the right ear cap. This will be your standard ESB paint up and it seems that the only challenge I may have on this is the range finder itself. The range finder on this is all molded together so it is one big piece of clear resin but I will get it figured out.
I spent some time last week trimming out the visor section and mounting the visor inside the lid to give it some strength while I paint it. I used the bolt method that way the visor can be removed at any time for any reason. Then over the weekend I hit it with a nice primer coat and then hit it last night with its first base color. From here I will mask out the damage that I need and will then spray it with the silver coat. Then rinse and repeat on down the line. Anyway on to the pics.
