I noticed that with the flush set that I was also getting marks on the skin. They weren't smileys, just a scuffing sort of mark. I was thinking that maybe my flush set has some imperfections or something. I couldn't really see anything wrong with it. I was about to order a new flush set when I tried using that rivet tape that came with the Avery toolkit. Now I get no marks at all. So my VS and the left side of the HS have the marks but the right side HS looks good. Bummer. Nothing that paint prep won't take out. Its a shame I learn all these things about halfway thru any process. Thanks for the tape idea whoever that was.

Mine are caused by the "galling" of the alclad on the rivet set. I have used tape on the skins, no marks. Tape on the set , no marks. However you will have to replace the tape on the set every dozen or so rivets. I have also used some auto rubbing compound on the rivet set remove the galling, it works but you have to polish the set every 20-30 rivets. The bottom line is that when you are ready to paint, you will need to prep the skins by scotchbrighting the rivet lines anyway.
