First I want to say hello, and think this forum is great with alot of knowledge and great members. I logged on back in December once I got the reborn rocket building bug back in me and built some MPR's in the past 6 months and got a lot of info from this forum on building techniques. I've been searching around on the forum for a small problem I ran into while painting but cant quite get my answer so I thought Id ask for some help
Ive used Rustolium 2x Painters Touch many times with very good results and my current project an Estes Saturn V my wife and kids got me for Christmas is at the paint stage. I primed it with Rustolium 2x painters touch grey primer, sanded the paper tube parts somewhat after 24 hrs and waited another 24 hrs before painting with Rustolium 2x painters touch gloss white. I turned out perfect, except for 2 spots showing in the picture.
My question is to fix this do I sand the wrinkles down to the tube up to the smooth parts and prime the sanded area and then sand the primer some to match the original surface height or do I just paint it with the gloss white after sanding? And how long should I leave it before repainting. I dont have a deadline since its going to be a display rocket and want it to stay pretty.
Thanks
Ken
