Estes Sidekick #7287 Build, Part 7, Decal Color Touch-up



From the last post - 
The color match is close, but not exact. The flame decal is a little lighter than the nose cone paint.

TIP: Some of the orange paint was sprayed into a small plastic cup.
A Q-tip was dipped in the wet paint. Before rolling on the decal, the excess paint was wiped off on a paper towel.

Some of the orange paint was rolled over the top of the flame decal darkening it slightly. Now the decal fade better matches the nose cone color.



TIP: Some orange paint was also rolled over the edge of the tube above the flame area. The area above the black paint was hit with a Sharpie.

Continuing the color over the tube edge makes it look almost seamless when the nose cone is inserted.
