Estes V2 Build Part 24 White Spray and Sand

After the first white color coat, I had to go back and wet sand with 400 grit.

The picture shows how much sanding was done, in some places down to the grey primer.

It's hard to get sand flat on the rear of the tail cone. There was some fillets lines that needed to be taken down.

This is a four sided fingernail file I picked up at a Sally Beauty Supply store.
There is four different grits from 100 to about 400 grit.
The file is padded and washable.

To keep paint out of the hollow area round the engine mount, I stuffed strips of paper towel in the recesses.
Be sure it is tucked in far enough that it doesn't block any paint from the rear of the tail cone.

In the engine mount tube itself, I'll slide in a E engine casing stuck on a dowel painting wand.
