• Paint and weather hinges in situ: Keep hinges in the fret during painting and weathering
• Initial enamel paint application: First, apply an enamel paint layer like Humbrol, let it dry for 24 hours, then proceed with regular colors and weathering products
• Gentle handling: Be cautious while handling hinges to prevent paint scratches
• Cutting hinges: Place the fret on a hard surface and use a fresh knife to cut out the hinges
• Cleaning residue: Use a micro file to clean up any fret residue, straight edges may not require filing
• Bending hinges: Use a photo-etch bending tool to angle hinges to your needs
• Glue hinges: Gently use tweezers to glue hinges into place
• Touch-up painting: Some parts may need extra painting to restore damage from cutting or handling, use a fine-tipped brush with your main color
