New Goggle Project: Part 2

I roughed up all the parts for these new goggles to hopefully give the paint a better surface to grip onto this time around.  Then, I seperated out the parts that I wanted to try with one color paint and after the black Fusion paint had dried I painted these with a silver product that is supposed to leave a hammered finish.
I also covered the treads on the rigid section where the lenses screw on to try to avoid making it difficult to screw the rings on and off.  It didn't take long for a couple of coates of the silver to dry completely and be ready for the clear finish to be painted on later in the next step.

It's hard to tell in this next pic but I painted the flexible face mask part with the black fusion paint and tried to allow a lot of time for it to get dry.  The instructions state that you have to give this seven days to dry completely so we will just have to wait to see how this turns out.  In the mean time you can handle the item a lot sooner so I drilled small, concentric holes all around the outside of the mask so I can add small screws to make it look like the whole thing was assembled from even more pieces.
