Instument Panel Graphics
The instrument panel is now lettered. It was ABSOLUTELY the most frustrating work I have done on the plane so far. I spent tons of time messing with it and a few calls to tech support figuring out how to use the lettering system from Pulsar Pro FX .
When I first started, I only had about a 10% success rate after many hours or trial and errors. After I re-reading the instructions a few times and changing my techniques, the success when up to about 60%. A LOT more failures and I finally figured out how to make it work which was not covered in the instructions (and I surprised tech support with what I was doing) and now I am almost 100% successful. What a PITA but it is finally done!
After lettered everything and getting it ready for shipment, my tape accidentally touched part of the graphics and removed the boarder! Fu**
So I made a new image and removed the damaged one and replaced it in about 15 minutes. Cool!
The new graphic is in place!
I am going to try some clear spray sealer on a few test pieces to check the results of some abrasive tests. I want to make sure the graphics are preserved until they get completely sealed in clear coat.
