You might want to test whether a thicker coat is better than a thin one. I have one NC with thick paint on it. The paint can flake off under the right circumstances. The paint is bonded stronger to itself than to the nosecone. In such a situation, under sufficient pressure and thermal stress, the paint might come away in sheets - once the first flaw is exposed. A sheet of paint ripping off and blasting into the fins would not appeal to me. The resulting asymmetry in the nosecone would not appeal to me either.
