'I battle gravity'
At long last I've taken some pictures of the painting rotisserie I cobbled together for large nosecones.
I despise painting nose cones vertically. Just can't seem to get the right motion coupled with consistent speed.

Built out of standard lumber from a big box store like Lowe's or Home Depot. I doubt I have more than $10 in this thing and most it is due to using wood screws to anchor the vertical upright and the brace. The nose cone responsible for this contraption is from my Polecat Aerospace Goblin 5.5 and is shown mounted for paint.
The white foam board centering fits inside the shoulder to stabilize the nose cone. Different sized nose cones will require different sized foam board centering rings.
When I paint with this device, I normally cover the frame with nose paper in the manner of a drop cloth because I store this thing in my garage. Mrs. OD doesn't care for paint fumes.
