Custom PONG Build Part 16, Nose Cone Canopy Paint

I experimented with an extra ping pong ball before applying paint on the model.

This is a permanent marker from Staples Office Supply store. The ball took the marker ink well, whether painted or not.

The outside was drawn first. Stay just on the pencil lines, making slight correction to the line as you go.

We're just starting to fill the the drawn border.
I had to go over the interior area twice to get good coverage.

The black marker areas were smoother than I could have ever got with a brush.
I went a little outside in a few spots.
You can lightly scrape away any rough edges with a sharp knife tip.
The marker didn't soak into the white paint and could be scraped off.

You'll probably have to go back and forth between the marker and knife a few times to get it right. Just don't scrape too deep with the knife.
