I carved and tapered a dowel to fit into the hole in the base of the shoulder. The tapered tip goes in about 1 1/2" and is a tight wedged fit.
The shoulder is masked off with a piece of 110 lb. cardstock.
Sanding down the gray filler/primer showed two notches in the nose cone.
These are too deep to be filled by the filled/primer. I'll have to use a drop of medium CA and sanding.
Directly below the notches you can see what's left of the molding seam. The filler/primer did it's job.
No white undercoat is needed when black is the final color.
I got a pretty good gloss and reflection using the ACE Hardware premium enamel.
