Hey All!
Had to take a few to shake the dust off and let my brain return to what's currently considered normal :eyeroll:
Now, much to the chagrin of the young folks in my house, I've decided to take the finishing variables out of the equation and use a wrap for both interceptors, the interceptor-e and vindicator-e . I'll still seal the balsa with hardener and sealer , but in the interest of time will use the wraps instead of paint :rant:. With 25 kits to build, my HPR L2 cert to complete, + all of the other stuff; just no time right now...
Sorry for the let-down, I'll post some pics as I work through the wrap process!
Thanks TRF, you folks are the greatest!

I'm not sure you really need to apologize for using the wraps, I think they look spectacular and undoubtedly present a different challenge. If/when I build some form of Interceptor in the future, I'll be *extremely* tempted to go with John's wraps. just based on how nice they look.
Question: if the entire rocket is going to be covered with opaque wraps, why bother with balsa sealing and such?
In the instructions, John says the wraps need something more than just bare balsa and paper to attach to (think that is true with any form of vinyl wrap). My wife says that is sound prep advice, as she did my fm logo for my Arcas. I think the idea is that it will work better with a nice smooth base to cling to.

The Interceptor-E was done with #7172 Rustoleum Silver Metallic Flake.
John,
I've done some searches, but cannot find a match on the product number. I've found this one, but the product number is 7271-830
