and now some pics of the bonus inserts area that i started on yesterday.

first couple of pics show what i had to deal with. Some of this happened with the mylar removal  ^&^
With this PF, im using white primer instead of the grey i have used in the past, so it should be much easier getting good paint coverage. In the 1st pic you can see i was starting to apply the primer around one of the inserts when the pic was taken. The primer was sanded with 400 grit wet&dry and windex, then wiped down with Prepsol prior to spraying any colour on.  

To paint this area im using.. once again automotive spray can acrylics, only with this section i decided to use the airbrush with the chosen colour, its called bahama beige, and is a pretty decent match for the yellowed white in this area, plus using the air brush allowed me to blend the colour into the original colour, making any difference less noticeable, plus allowing me to still see the text underneath so i could reproduce it later.

I also used this colour to fill in a few cracks, just brushing it into the cracks, leaving it slightly raised above the pf surface then block sanding it level with 400 grit wet&dry and windex and a cork sanding block cut down in size for doing small areas. In the 3rd pic you can see where i have filled in some small divots in the surface of the PF. last pic is after a couple of light coats with the airbrush, plus some more filling having been done, yet to be sanded back smooth when the pic was taken.
