The interior of the engine tubes were hand painted earlier with fluorescent orange acrylic.
The interior color isn't very smooth, next time I'd probably spray the fluorescent orange. These were capped over with masking tape to keep out the black paint. The bottom tape "cap" is before trimming with scissors. The upper tape has been roughly cut to the edges of the round tube end.
Here's a closeup of the radiator rings with the metallic paint applied.
The reflections of all the metal specks don't allow all the rough spots and glue blobs to show as much.
One of the rear "sail fins".
This metallic paint shows off best in direct sunlight.
The areas that will get decals will be polished with rubbing compound to smooth the surface and help decal adhesion. Decals stick pretty well to this paint, but there is a slight texture to the finish.
