Sports Chrono and Mode Dial?

[kapetajr]

Hooded option you say?

D'oh! I fear more work. But Teddis is clearly gunning to move up my to-do list by referring great new members like yourself. So cue @Bob Z for pictures of the hooded bezel.

The hooded bezels are actually easy to print, but finding a slate grey/black paint like the dash has been the hold up. That and stretching my carpokes elf time pretty thin these days....

In the meantime, I need to get my head around the Macan and Cayenny sports chrono and mode dials -- I'm not entirely sure which are like the 718, which are like the 992, and which are altogether different. I suspect mid-model updates aren't helping either....

We can be patient . Do you need me to take my SC ring off and take pictures?

I wouldn't mind trying a blue hood with black ring.

Well……..the CARPOKE Elf struck Central Canada today……LARGE !!!
Wow ! Thank you so much @Tom . Lots here for trial and error, and will spread the love with other Carpokeans @kapetajr

I could not bring myself to put that cold Guinness on that coaster !! Lol
Thanks for the Swag Tom !! And I will post progress as I figure how to complete these.

Those hooded ones print 4 at a time, so I ran you two sets, and tossed in a normal replica bezel I had sitting around from my efforts with Bob. Congratulations, you're now the de facto franchisee of hooded carpokes bezels in central Canada. Printing any of these things is easy and almost always error-free. Painting them to a Porsche-worthy finish is what takes me forever.... That's partly why I sent so many. To get 2 perfect ones, I generally paint 3 or 4 sadly....

Close your eyes and make a wish to the Porsche gods, and you will have your own in time for cocktail hour tomorrow.

Haha, The Guinness was just good vibes , good karma , I guess thanks for the small ring and the shorter hood…….unfortunately that one got rim chipped somehow…….. no biggie , got lots here.to work with

Tom, would these need further sanding , or good for paint as is ?
Cheers ?

[Teddis]

Man......yah...the painting is not easy. Flat paint seems ok....thankfully that is what I am after. Here is a shot of 1st attempt Tom.

[Tom]

Looks good. Don't be afraid to sand it down with 600 grit sandpaper to get out any lines/ridges, etc. A high-build primer also helps with that. Paint aside, does it block the glare?

[Teddis]

Thanks for the tips Tom. Will work on ridge removal

Anyone who wondered about the work that goes int to these …….be appreciative of what Tom does here , it’s an Art he has mastered.

Here is a shot of functional shade @Tom ! I just need to see the DIG. clock. It is perfect…….version 2 in production, refined edges, albeit this is just fine !
