So I realized I painted the wrong side of the top plate. I then painted the other side.
Now I read the manual and it says to leave the bottom side unpainted. Do I need remove all the paint? Do I need to remove paint in specific areas to allow for appropriate ground?
Thanks

You should remove paint in these areas:
1. Where the volume pot mounts.
2. Where the 5 lug strip mounts by the 9 pin socket.
3. Where the #8 grounding screw mounts by the IEC power entry module.
When you paint the correct side, you'll also probably want to pass a 1/4" drill bit through the holes for the transformer screws, as there will be two layers of paint there that will make fitting the hardware difficult.
I would also like to thank you for being thoughtful about your project and correcting the issue before proceeding with your build.

Paul,
Thanks for your quick response. I think I got it. I tried to post a picture but I can’t yet :o

There's a file restriction size, so often photos have to be scaled down by about 50%.

You sanded the paint off where the 5 lug strip mounts by the octal socket. You need to sand the paint off where the 5 lug strip mounts by the 9 pin socket.

...and that's why we post a follow up. So close yet so far away.
