Estes Little Joe II (Small) Build, Part 17, Silver Paint & Upper Wrap




The raised edge on the wraps made for an easy mask of the silver


The self adhesive upper wrap was pretty old, who knows if it will still stick.

The border edges are cut off. Peel the backing off the excess and test that for adhesion.
The peel and stick wrap was still good!



When applying a wrap like this, I like to keep the backing on and peel it off as I go around the tube.
Leaving the backing on keeps dirt and oils off the body tube and wrap.






I expected a slight overlap at the seam.

What I didn't realize was the wrap didn't reach the top of the tube!
Oh well, not a big deal.
