Sprayed power coupler silver. Then on with the blue
Also had to trim some more of the power couplers tabs for it to fit to MY frame work. Next, the blue outside bits, I simply masked off and also used a circle piece of cardboard. Then gave a few coats of blue. My blue that I've been using is Plasti-kote metalic blue 135S (the image does look blue, more purple).
Bent some strip metal into a bracket to hold the coupler in place. Drilled and taped a 5mm hole in the back centre of the coupler. Then screwed a small bolt through the bracket to secure. Then screwed the bracket to the base and frame.
For the inner blue parts, I sprayed the blue into a spare spray can lid and then used a file paint brush. Results...... not to bad. Any mistakes will be covered up with 'weathering' paint.
