Estes QCC Explorer Build Part 20, Color Paint Upgrades

The great thing about duplicating the face card decor, there is no masking!
If you didn't glue on the tail cone, nose cone or upper body tube, spray each part separately and glue together afterwards.



The tail cone was painted separately. The gluing surfaces were masked off.








Instead of the suggested gloss black, I went with the Rusto Metallic Black.
It's a subtle change that might make your model stand out from the crowd of QCC models at the next club launch.




The primer grey I first used on the payload section didn't give any contrast to the light grey color on the kit decal.

I ended up going with the Rusto Aluminum paint. It gives a little shimmer and is still in the grey family.
