Thanks everyone for the replies. I will go ahead and paint it (with spray paint of course). I might tone down the amount of primer I use, but then again most of that gets sanded off anyways.
Every month we have 2 competitions at our club launch. One is changed every month (last month it was "A" cluster duration which I won first place). The other is the same the whole year and this year it is "B" streamer duration. I used an Estes Hi-flier last month with a 4" wide × 56" long mylar streamer that was folded accordion style. It did well, but I placed second and the first place rocket beat me by 24 seconds so I have a lot of ground (or air) (or time) to pick up.
I'm also planning on testing before launch day on a b4-4 and a b6-4. I think I'll get a better result out of the b4-4, but that's why I am testing it first.
Here are a few pics of last months Hi-flier and "A" cluster.
