A year and a half later and I’m finally looking at returning to this.
Looking at the original guide, I noticed that the author said it’s hand painted and will have imperfections in the lining up of the squares. Looking at his images, I notice that his pattern wasn’t too dissimilar to how mine come out, so I’ve basically reset the design back to black for er… almost no reason at all, oops!
I could have just touched up the worst bits rather than resetting it completely.
I’ll redo the pattern on the grip and continue posting updates.
