hi Gotall! i need help! lol

im workin on my side panel, and i finish half of it (good god it took me 3 hour), and so far so good... BUT as my first question before, after the striping, it looks really really rough... like ur pic of spiderman case, the 1st time u finish the background cloud.

now how do i "clean" it to make it smoother like your next pic on the spiderman case? u told me u clean it....

u told me not to cross engrave it, so do i re-engrave it again on the same direction? do i engrave it using the smaller bit? what do i do? it looks rough :(

here;s what i mean:

how do u get the solid area from the left side (really sketchy/rough) to the right side (really silky smooth)????

i tried my best doing the "striping" at 1 direction, as patience as i can. smoothening out everything, but it still wont look as smooth as that right side :( did u use a different bit to clean it up or somethin?

the smallest bit you can find .. i think the diamond bits 0.8mm or 1mm, thats the one i use to make the finnishing touches..

Thank you! :D i wish i had my camera to do some kind of worklog, but my brother borrowed it and he lives in another city haha. i just got it this weekend.

i was thinking doing both sides on the front, but i think 1 side is good enough. and theres a little space on the back panel below the PSU that i think i can engrave something on it too.... but i'll create a thread in the modding section, not here :D
