Estes Tazz #7282 Build, Part 7, White Undercoats


Oh no!
I was using the Rustoleum Premium with great sucess - until today.
The gloss white sprayed out rough! I stopped immediately, only a small area got the rough spray. Luckily it easily sanded smooth.
I test sprayed about ten passes of the gloss white on scrap cardboard before hitting the rocket again.
This time the paint went down smooth.




After the first white coat, you could see some tube bulges at the front leading edge of the main fins.


These were sanded down a bit and shouldn't be as obvious by the time the final color is sprayed.






Here is both sides of the rocket showing the launch lug fillet and leading edge bulge after sanding.

The rocket got an additional shot of gloss white before the overall final color.
