Quest/Aerotech High Q, #Q5012, Part 5, Ends & Edges

When I can, I like to finish off the edges of a build. 

Years back, my eighth grade wood shop teacher told me: "Anyone can get the flat top surface smooth - a craftsman smooths the corners and inside edges."

 

The clear overlap of the wrap stickers showed some raised lines.

Sharpie to the rescue - 

These lines were easily covered with careful use of the permanent marker. The left picture is the before.

In the right side picture that little white mark is a reflection. Now the overlap is almost invisible.

The ends of the tubes were also painted.

On the left, the black segment was done with the Sharpie pen. The end edge of the motor mount tube also got a Sharpie wipe.

The body tube edge didn't get a good coverage of the sprayed purple paint.

On the right, some purple was rolled on with a Q-tip.

Spray some purple in a small cup and dip a Q-tip. Wipe off the excess paint then roll the purple onto the tube edge.
