Thanks! I quite liked your entry....purple rocket, Hendrix, clever word play - what's not to love?

As far as paint - it's actually a cheap hardware store rattle can situation. Besides playing with color, I also like to play with different reflections as well, and did so with this one. By this I mean that some areas are gloss, and some matte/flat.

The "parasite's" airframes are "Premium Decor Banner Orange" (gloss), and their nosecones and fins are "Premium Decor Flourescent Blazing Orange" (flat).

The main/booster section's airframe is "Premium Decor Fiesta Red" (gloss). I wasn't happy with any of the red/flourescent options available, so for the nose cone and fins I used a base of "Premium Decor Hot Red" with a very light blush of "Krylon Flourescent Red Glowing Orange" (flat) over it.


Speaking of flourescent rattle can paint - I've been trying to find a flat flourescent purple and am having no luck. Anybody have a source or suggestion on who makes/carries such a thing?
