Looking good for first time attempt.
Will this be braid or copper tape?

If it fluffs its usually old stock thats moisture damaged even if you cant see it.
The 1mm gap is do the guide never touches the braid so it never rips.
Recess is generally 0.8mm deep and double sided tape is the only way to go.

If youre in the Asia Pacific region Mr Slotcar in Melbourne sells braid cleaned and double sided tape attached ready to go.

I like the non constant radii curves. I find constant radius curves predictable and not the challenge I like. Looks more realistic too. Not easy on your first attempt.

Question: Why did you braid it before painting it?

Looking good, spray paint or brush?
