Three flame fins glue on each SRB fin tube assembly.
They are spaced at 90 degrees to each other. It's almost like a four finned rocket with one fin missing. The open area of the tube faces the central engine mount.
Mask off the small centering rings and spray the fin unit white.
On the left is the sprayed and blended yellow paint.
If you were holding the fin unit at this angle, you would be aiming the yellow spray nozzle just below the bottom border edge of the picture.
Start pressing the spray nozzle at the left before the fin edge. Spray in a straight line.
Continue across the lower fin edge and release the nozzle when you are past the fin on the right.
Spray light mist coats until you reach the color density you want.
On the right is the third color, the gray primer.
Spray as you did before, but aim lower than you did with the yellow.
Try for an even blend.
When you do a blended finish, your finish will be dull at the color change area.
Here's all three variations from different builds.
I prefer the third with the white, yellow and gray coloring.
