Cris, Thanks, baking soda/powder (is if i'm correct natrium bicarbonate)
you can buy it cheap in a 25KG bag (10-15 EURO or 20USD?) or insanely expesive a a small pakkige to use in baking cakes! You can use it with the same kit (blasting gun/compressor) which you would use with any other blasting materials..but is far more gentle for the material used upon.
correct; masked letters, then the black was both for the letters and to enhance Chrome paint.
the crome spay was done in verry light layers giving time in between to dry.
Will, (also thanks!) below another pic on the sockets used.
You will have to take out the little circuit boards and drill/widen up de existing holes to fit the new replacement sockets. I've glued them in hence the earthing wires to the chassis connecting.
