Estes Doorknob, #9720 Build, Part 10, Overspray & More Masking




I had a little over spray.
This was easily removed with a damp Mr. Clean sponge. Go light with the sponge - it can dull the paint.







TIP: Remove the pencil marks with a white eraser.
Don't use an eraser on the back end of a pencil. A pink eraser will leave pink marks.







Here's the marked Scotch tape masks dividing the nose cone into quarters.

The tip of the nose cone remains white.
This is the upper mask separations.

To get clean corners, the bottom blocks were masked and sprayed.
The bottom is masked off, then the upper orange blocks are masked and sprayed.
You could do all the masking at once but I find better results doing a two-step process.







One black fin.
The fin taper showed up well on the finished model.
