Centuri Quasar Clone Build, Kit #KC-7, Part 13, Parachute & White Paint

I found a new ASP 15" Mylar parachute, again from the spare parts drawer.

I used a rotary punch to make clean cut holes for the shroud lines. 

TIP: To get clean holes, back up the parachute with some cardstock when making the punches.

TIP: Note the punched hole is at the bottom of the reinforcement disk. With the punch at the edge of the ring you could avoid a shroud line tear starting in the Mylar. 

The assembled rocket got a few shots of gloss white.

I do sand with 800 grit, between coats. Under a bright light, look for rough spots and dried glue bits. 

The initial color coats can be the last "filler" on the rocket. As you sand, paint is left in cracks and can give a slight fill. A few extra shots of paint and sanding really smoothed out the shroud/body tube joint.
