Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Dew Shield (sanded with 220-grit)

 

 220-grit sanding of Dew Shield - 5 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

At 220-grit, the surface of the 6061-T6 aluminum dew shield has really transformed into a more acceptable surface for priming and painting. As you are already aware, the inside surface of the dew shield was sanded at 60-grit, and then left alone. Now, compare it to the freshly sanded external surface of the dew shield and appreciate the difference between the two. I have one more grit to get through on the external surface plus thoroughly cleaning before we can move on to applying the flocking, priming and painting.
