Estes BOSS Kit #7316, Build, Part 13, Motor Intake Disks

The medium front motor disks (Parts I) are sprayed black, the smallest dots (Parts J) are sprayed yellow.

The instructions says to use colored markers but I thought I could get a more even color coverage by spraying them before gluing them together.

Both colors were sprayed on the same scrap cardboard. A piece of cardstock covered the smaller yellow disks while the upper disks were sprayed black.
The black disks were covered with the same cardstock and the small disks sprayed yellow.




After the first coats of white and black, the disks got a light sanding.
The black disks didn't need a white undercoat.




The centers of the Part I disks got the paint scraped off for the best glue bond.

The yellow disks are glued in the center circles.

The flat fronts of the motor tubes will be painted yellow before these are glued on.
