A piece of hair got into the collar armor while I was spraying the silver paint.[ATTACH=full]238031[/ATTACH]So I sanded the piece down, and reprimed it.[ATTACH=full]238032[/ATTACH]However, when I reprimed it, the primer cracked still, just like on the gauntlet even though I cleaned it. I then realized it must be a paint reaction between the primer and silver paint.[ATTACH=full]238033[/ATTACH]Glued down the edges of the adhesive Velcro on the vest with e-6000 for more stability cause I noticed the Velcro would start peeling off when the armor was on it for an extended period of time. While doing this, I put the armor behind the vest to keep the vest flatter. However, the e-6000 bled through the vest and make marks on the armor.[ATTACH=full]238036[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]238035[/ATTACH]So I sanded, wiped with mineral spirits, and sanded again to strip some paint layers off all the oopsie pieces. I used too low of a grit on the first sanding pass and left some gouges, so I’ll have to do multiple layers of filler primer and sanding to get it smooth again.[ATTACH=full]238034[/ATTACH]And also added foam padding in the finished gauntlet. It fits very nicely now.[ATTACH=full]238037[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
