So, I got back to the project a bit this afternoon.
I ordered some 'plasti-dip' to recoat the handle on the lockdown bar reciever. The old cover was kinda cut up, and dirty. I had to mail order the plasti-dip, as it comes in multiple colors, but none of the stores around me carried yellow. I could've had red, blue or black, but for some reason, I had to order yellow.
I decided to repaint the insert again, after using some wood filler in some staple holes etc
I found a place on eBay selling cases of 20 sanding pads in red and grey grit, so I bought one of each. Cost is about $1 USD each, and they are larger than the ones I pay $2.25 each for in the hardware store!
And the correct weatherstripping for the speaker panel - the last roll was the right width, but too tall.
I have a speaker panel project in the works, hope to post some pics in the next week or so. No, it's not LEDs.
Paint sprayed, hope it dries OK without crazed areas like last time
Hope to work some more tonight, had enough time at lunch today to get this done and posted in hope that it motivates me!
