Yes, there is warpage. You know where the Visor goes? Yeah, that area is too narrow.

I wouldnt call it warpage, but it seems the Visor gap is a bit small, asif the cap part has flopped down, did you use support struts?

Still looks O.K.

Use a matte Acrylic Paint.

And it is called warpage, because it "Warps" from it's original shape.

I guess I'll have to take some pictures with my cell phone(It has a good camera in it) then send it to my email, then save it to my computer,As my micro SD card has Bricked itself....I guess static got to it.
Also Im done painting it.I got Auto Mobile primer.And it looks great!I'll post some new pictures soon ;)
