Thanks Joshua .
Small update.
I taped the segment joints up with Byute Flash. Got a bit worried with the wrinkly look, but with 2 coats of flat primer it's looking ok, ill use many flat white metal paint top coats. Flat paint hides imperfections.
The inside is painted with flat black Dulux Metal shield epoxy enamel. This is SERIOUS paint. The pic shows just one coat of this flat black enamel over white primer. Never before have i seen such coverage of black top coat over white!. One coat to my surprise will do!.
Ive always liked Dulux for pigment density, but this is nuts. It was very thick, possibly due to the temp being 10 deg and twice as much paint used over coverage stated on the can. Lesson learned, paint metal when its cold, half the work!.
The 3D printed rack fitted to the slot door worked a treat on test .
