Well, I have finally started the phase of this project I dislike the most: touch up painting. I have cleaned the polish residue from the bare metal chipped bits with alcohol and applied a coat of flat, grey primer by hand to said areas.

The first photo is right after the alcohol cleaning and frankly looks no different than the last photo I posted. The second photo, however, shows the bits of bare metal now covered in a coat of the required primer. I will let that sit and cure until early next week, before attempting the fun stuff.

Going to be interesting to see how close a colour match I get to the original Gloss Navy Grey, how close a match there is to the original gloss, and how steady my hand it throughout the process. I have never been good at this sort of detail work, so it should be interesting.

David
