Hello all - I'm back!
Been away from all this for along time - we had the wedding, which all went off superbly well, then the honeymoon and then some other life stuff that has just taken up all of my time but I'm slowly getting back into it.
I would not recommend that anyone takes 8 months away from a Boba paint job! It's really difficult to pick up where you left off but I've made a start on the ears. They're the metal ones from MF which are lovely and weighty to hold, dimensions are near perfect with only minor tweaks to Raf's templates needed. I'll post current pictures when I get home but I have the red damage on the left ear done, grey #28 applied and need to begin marking out the areas for grey damage next.
The only issue I've had so far is that the paint chips on them SUPER easy. I prepped the metal as best as I could beforehand - giving everything a light sanding and a rub with acetone but I still have to handle them very carefully.
Anyway, it's good to be back!
Edit: Just realised, I didn't use any primer on the metal ears. Worth soldiering on or starting again?
