I learned what I should and shouldnt do when cutting pie panels out. The best thing I could say is when using a dremel, at least tape off the metal to avoid scratching the dome like I did. Keep the dremel at a medium speed because it tends to jump a bit. Go slow with this and take your time and it will turn out all right.

Polishing the dome, I used Brasso metal polish that I got at the Home Depot in the cleaning section. I applied this with a rag and used #0000 steel wool very lightly to do the polishing in sections so it comes to a nice shine and you can see a visible reflection.
The Dome Arrives
My 300mm Aluminum Dome came in the mail and it is sweet!
It looks like a lot of work. It will have to be sanded down and polished and I am sure this will take a lot of time to do. Knowing me, I will probably jump between tasks. It will need to be deburred and have the pie panels cut out. The dome lights will have to be made and put it. This is going to be fun.
