Starlight Jayhawk Build Part 22 Nose Cone Masking

When the ring reached the color separation point, it was slid down fairly tight against the nose cone surface.

Not too tight - I didn't want the ring to mark up or scratch the white paint.

The back white side of the nose cone was masked off.

When spraying the black I first concentrated on just the tip, keeping the line of paint away from the centering ring mask.

I then came back and sprayed nearer the centering ring. I sprayed directly over the outside edge of the ring, from the side.

In painting the tip first, I wouldn't have to do any more spraying from the tip back and running the risk of the paint getting under the ring edge.

Because this isn't a real masking medium, I didn't want to take any chances with paint going under the ring.
