The next step was to paint the compartment doorhandles chrome, using the "Molotow Liquid Chrome pen".
Some of you probably noticed that I meanwhile "shrunk" the compartment door handles, since they were out of scale.
I already noticed it after painting, but I thought when adding the chrome it will look ok
Exactly the opposite happened, it pretty much highlighted the error further
So I ended up filling the former holes, drilling smaller ones into it and then repainting the whole part
Always something with my projects
