Yes, we masked it first- my buddy who owns the media blaster wasn't confident that it would work out as well as it did- so he did a test patch with straight lines so it wouldn't look horrible if we decided not to blast the rest of the cap. I was glad it worked!
I'll try to paint them this weekend and post follow up pics.
I haven't tried the radio yet- there's a huge gaping hole where the speaker should be- all in good time!
