Chripes. Almost a month since I last looked at this. I am horribly embarrassed.
I admit to cowardice on this one. I've been scared half to death of trying to shiny up that rubber skin. I spent a few hours tonight fiddling with a technique that I've never really used before that might get the results I want.
Hopefully by Friday night I'll have a more substantial amount of progress to report. For now enjoy the flat colors.
