Feel free to ask questions about paint. I owned my own auto body shop in throughout my 20's. There are no shortcuts to perfect work, but different people will have a variety of expectations.

Got some Rustoleum and Bondo today. Use Bondo on the gaps in the blade, give it some sanding, black filler & primer, sand again, then either silver or chromatic blue paint after that. Got some failed prints to test on first
