Centuri Satellite 62SL Build Part 5 Paint

The body and nose cone are painted separately to make an easy color separation when the nose cone is glued in place.

This picture shows the body and nose cone after sanding down the primer.

I haven't installed the engine block yet so I was able to slide the 13mm casing (on the painting stick) all the way to the front. This keeps the paint out of the inside of the body tube.

The nose cone was masked at the shoulder. The rolled paper behind the tape mask gave me something to hold onto when spraying.

Finally, the sprayed parts.

Both got two coats of color, sanding between coats with 400 grit.

This shows the build after the last heavy, wet coat.
