I tipped a 426AD4-7 rivet using the squeezer while riveting the upper VS-410PP hinge bracket, rear spar doubler, and rear spar. Pictures here:

The damage seems to be just powder-coat. But, since this is a control system component, I asked Vans tech support for a recommendation on how to proceed... But, of course, they're out for OSH until next week.
My current plan is to clean up the marring in the powder coat (smoothing ridges, etc.), and just make another attempt.
What say the crowd?
Thank you,
