Quest/Enerjet Minotaur Q5015 Build, Part 5, Nozzle Assembly

The small nose cone nozzles had some mold flash shown on the left.

This was shaved off with a knife and sanded smooth.

To fit into the SRB tubes, a single centering ring is glued onto the small end of the nozzle.

I used some medium thickness CA glue, transferred onto the joint with a toothpick.

Look at the dried ring from the side to make sure it is on straight.

To spray paint the nozzles silver - 

Set them on a scrap cardboard on masking tape with the sticky side up. 

Notice the "X" cut into the cardboard to allow the nose cone tip to go into the surface and let the ring sit on the tape.  

Many people recommend spraying silver over a black undercoat for better contrast.

I was curious to see if there was any difference as the nose cone was white and the ring black. I didn't notice any difference in the silver color on the two different parts.
