I agree, the cp art is amazingly cool! :D
cmoses:
Looking great. How did you get the top where the trackball mount went to look so smooth?

Greetings everyone from the dead!
I cannot believe it has been three month since I last updated my project. It is mostly due to getting frustrated with not be able to wrap the T-Molding around the control panel correctly. I have tried cutting grooves so the molding will flex around the corners, tried hot glue and nothing seem to be working out.
Anyone out there have any tricks of the trade that might help me with my T-Molding dilemma?
If need be, I can post some close up pictures of the panel if that would help out.
Anyhow, let me try and answer your questions:
HVLP gun was purchased from my local Home Depot. Here is the exact make and model number of the gun "Husky
Gravity Feed Hvlp Spray Gun Model HDS79000AV".
Regarding the rollerball mount, I used a plunge router to route out a very thin layer of wood so the rollerball plate would sit flush with the MDF. Once I had the wood routed, I used bondo and a lot of TLC to make it smooth.

Try heating the t-moulding with a hair dryer. It makes very flexible. :)
