Here's the vanes sections, sprayed with the black metallic paint.
It reminds me of a beehive - too many small pieces of tape!
The main body and fins were sprayed with gloss black.
I peeked under the tape to see if there was much difference between the metallic black and gloss black.
In all honesty, it wasn't enough of a contrast to justify all the extra masking!
It was worth a try though -
Maybe paint the vanes matte black?
ReplyDeleteHI Anonymous,
DeleteThat thought did cross my mind. I was just hoping for a higher contrast between the blacks to break up an overall black painted rocket. I don't want to go through all the masking again!
