I'm starting a build on an Estes Nike Smoke, it will be mostly stock except I'll be using rocketpoxy for most of the gluing and I'll probably beef up the shock cord and attachment.
The thing I have no experience of is painting the plastic fins. I've had non-optimal (but not horrible) results painting plastic nose cones before so thought I would ask here if anyone
has any advice/tips on how to prep the fins, what paint to use etc.
I'm probably going to try to replicate the paint job in this video rather than the standard one: [video=youtube;_UwDvZ0QZs0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UwDvZ0QZs0[/video]
