The PainKiller 3 rocket thread

A close up view of the nose cone

The fins are still in primer, will get gold glitter on them soon

The rocket as it sits, need to finish the fins, apply the decals and a few coats of glitter sealer, should be done this weekend 😁

All taped up and ready for paint

First coat of many

All done looks better in the sun

As it sits, ready for the decals


Decals on and needs some clear coat
Pronounced Pink Thriller

Ok, a few things that I learned while using glitter paint.
1) the glitter gets everywhere, cover everything in the shed if painting in one, or just paint it outside.
2) you have to paint in many thin coats to get the best results, three cans for the body tube and one can each for the nose cone and fins.
3) to absolutely get the best results, paint on a base coat, the same color as the glitter, next time I'll paint it pink and gold first then I'll paint with the glitter.
3) decals do not stick very well to glitter paint.
4) this is the first and maybe the last time I'll use glitter paint.

Very Cool! and a great Dad. :clap:

Thanks Gary, now to choose a motor for its maiden flight, I'm thinking a J500 might do.
