I need to pre-paint a whole bunch of fins (total of 7 pieces if I count right) off the rocket. The fins are basswood and vary from fairly small (maybe 2 sq. in.) to fairly large (30-40 sq. in.). I've already filler/primered them. Now I need to paint (I'll be using Rusto 2x gloss black in this instance). I'm not exactly sure how to hold them. Obviously the root edges will be masked off.
When applying filler/primer, I usually just tape them down flat to cardboard and do one side at a time. However, that doesn't seem to be good for getting a good gloss finish, because of all sorts of overspray issues. Ideally I would like a way to do many of them (if not all) at once, although I'd be totally OK with doing one side at a time if it came to that.
I feel there should be an obvious answer to this but it's not coming to me. I've prepainted parts before, but never large parts or many of them at once. Suggestions?
