Centurion Project Part 6 Cosmic Explorer Paint

The Titebond M&TG fillets had some slight ridges you could see once the white paint was applied.

To sand the tight angle in the root edge wrap some 400 grit around the end of a Q-Tip.
The cushioned end of the Q-Tip allows the sandpaper to roll into the root edge without creasing. Sharp folds in the sandpaper could scratch a line into the fin.


After the next coat of paint had dried, the tape covering the engine mount was removed.

The back edge of the body tube had a rough paint edge.
400 grit was used on the inside lip and over the edge.

I painted the lower half gloss white and the upper body tube and nose cone gloss black.
If you didn't glue the body tube sections together you could paint the two colors separately then glue it together - no mask needed.
