Centurion Project, Part 10, Black and White Paint

This is a very easy model to paint, the low end is white, the upper tube and nose cone are black.
TIP: Always think ahead when assembling a rocket. The instructions tell you to glue the two body tube sections together with a coupler before finishing. Wait to glue the two body tubes and spray them separately - no masking!
After you are happy with the upper and lower sections in their different colors, then glue them together.

Here's one of those examples where the paint can help fill some low areas, here on the launch lug glue fillet.
Sanding with 400 grit took some paint off the fillet . After the final coat of paint you probably won't even notice the dips in the glue line.

On the upper body, I did do an overall white undercoat and followed by light sanding.
There is no need to get a consistent, bright white cover on the upper section - it will end up being black.

Go right to the gloss black!
If the final colors are light colors, you do want a even, bright white undercoat. This isn't needed when spraying the dark black.
