127mm f/9.4 OTA Construction - The Dew Shield (painting and clear coating 1)

 

A back end look at the completed dew shield.... (Click for enlarged view)

 

After many thin coats of Rustoleum® Sail Blue spray enamel applied and allowed to cure for nearly a week, Rustoleum® Clear Coat spray enamel paint was sprayed on in thin even coats that really made the dew shield shiny like new money. I only wish that I would have used the same clear coat on my main tube instead of the Dupli-Color® brand clear coat. No a a problem though. It all worked out just fine. This image was taken for the dew shield's back end.
