You just need some practice with an air brush . And you will love the fine finish & paint options.Compressor came in yesterday.
So starting a new learning curve.
Hope I don't suck at it.
You never know till you try.

I think the iPhone app isn't ideal (standard maps, nothing specific) and Google maps on my buddies phone seemed to tell him to go the wrong way.

If that Punisher still has Paint Herpes..the RSO might say it needs to be quarantined longer....Starting to see the finish line on my winter projects. Well the 4" Ninja is a winter project, the 3" Punisher was shelved out of frustration a couple years ago when I ran into paint herpes issues. Yes I like black rockets, yes I need more imagination in my paint schemes. Two weeks until launch.

Does Duplicolor recommend sanding to 600 grit before paint application? Many sources I have heard say not to sand finer than 400 if overcoating as this still allows the paint to lay out smooth yet still gives it something to hold onto.It is Duplicolor Metalcast Orange. Unfortunately, this is a very fragile paint and requires a very well done basecoat to work right. On this rocket, I did not do a good job on the basecoat. It looked good for the picture, but the metalcast paint is already flaking off in large chunks. It is not sticking to the somewhat glossy surface of the basecoat (even though I sanded the base coat with 600 grit before applying the metalcast). But, I have been wrestling with painting this thing for the past two months and I am just tired of it. Got one good picture, now I am going to fly it for a while and then sand it down later in the summer when I have forgotten how much of a pain in the arse it was to paint this thing the first time
