New Way Blade Runner, Part 13, Masking & Painting The Blade Fins

Masking tape was set underneath the blade fins, sticky side up making a "cone" cover shape. 
Why mask off the light gray (already sprayed) just to have more light gray spray? It's difficult to get an overall even coat. I want a consistent gloss finish, over and under the blade fins. 


I didn't use filler/primer on the outside blade fin faces. 
On the right picture, the blade fins were sprayed with gloss light gray. 




The blade fins were sanded with 400 grit. The reflected light shows the gloss paint sanded dull.

After two days drying time the blade fins will get a final coat of light gray and the masking tape will be removed.
