Lopaka's DIY Garage (2.0)

[Lopaka KaMars]

Hanging out in my garage and working on this. While hanging out on the OF too.

Was a beater that I have at a plasma like finish, as I just sanded things down. My first polished Romeo. Mahalo @LaCucaracha

Right now finishing things up with some 2000 grit to brighten things up further. Hope to have this back together this weekend sometime.

Well here's another rushed out project. Lol. While using my mag/light while putting things together, I noticed the finish could still use more work. I continued only because of how much easier it is to take apart and put back together a Romeo, compared to a Mars. So gonna wear this for now.

New to the wear rotation.

Painted the band on the ear stem to match the lens color. I think it adds personality to this old beater. Reluctant to show the close up. Far from perfect, and an example of why you shouldn't paint without proper lighting. Take it from this electrician. Lol.

Hanging around the garage again today. My XS project is almost done. Just need new lenses and rubbers. And I managed to cut a Flak 2.0 XL black iridium lens and fit it in a Valve 1.0 frame. My first lens cut. Also learned that my blue construction tape doesn't work so well with the curvature of the Flak lens. Does anyone know of a better tape to use on lenses, for cutting purposes?

One more practice run on the lens cutting. Here s a Prizm Golf that I had lying around in an Unknown frame. Cut from a Flak 2.0 lens. I'll try finish the other side tomorrow. I only had one side of the black iridium I used for my first try.and it was a beater anyway.

Looking at it again, you might be right. It is pink, but really, really light. But I can't find the box for my wife's glasses to confirm. I swapped out her lenses when we first got it. Prizm was etched. Did low light come in Prizm?
