Quest Lil' Grunt Build #Q5014, Finished

The above picture was taken after the dull coat was sprayed.

The picture to the right and those below were taken before the dull coat.

The kit box illustration shows four bullet holes on one side. You are supplied with only six bullet holes. I decided to use two on each side in different locations.

Here you can easily see how shiny the stickers are. Before placing the stickers, I gave the dull finish body a gloss clear coat thinking the stickers would adhere and appear clearer on a smoother surface.

In this picture, the upper body has more of a semi-gloss finish after the gloss clear coat was applied.

The Rustoleum Silver Metallic looked great on the nose cone.

 

Here's the low end.

Any paint overspray was scraped off the engine hook. 

TIP: Why scrape paint off the hook? 

1. It looks cleaner and gives the rocket a finished "trim".

2. That overspray paint on the hook will blister after the first launch and look much worse!
