Enerjet by Aerotech Strong Arm Build, Part 10, You're Not Alone!

I see paint problems on the Facebook rocketry pages. It happens to all of us!
    

I usually have better luck at spray painting once the weather cools and the humidity drops.

No fancy masks on this one, the nose cone is sprayed a medium gray.
I did mask off the shoulder.
The initial two coats are sprayed on light, the third coat is sprayed on a bit wetter for a good, smooth gloss.

I checked them an hour later. Most of the nose cone was fine, the tip was not. The paint didn't craze or wrinkle, but there were bubbles!

I'll wait a day and sand smooth. After 48 hours I'll try again!
