Estes Super Mars Snooper #7309, Build Part 20, Painting The Lower Shroud


The Scotch tape mask edges were pressed down using a Q-tip before spraying. Using your fingernail to seal the edges could scar the balsa.








After the tape was pulled - 
Results were pretty good, but most all masks need a little cleaning up, especially one with inside edges.





One side had a rough edge.

Before the paint sets up, you can push the high spots back into the larger black area. Try to push the paint first - don't scrape unless you have to.





There were some black overspray.
This was removed with some careful use of a Mr. Clean Magic Sponge. Go light with the sponge - it can dull a gloss finish.
