I enjoy the build threads published on TRF. However, paint is my first love and thought a paint thread might be fun and, perhaps, maybe even useful.
The subject is a 4" Little John from Madcow Rocketry painted with the Createx Colors (sealers, basecoats, candies, metallics, and pearls) line of paints.
The Createx line is my choice because they are waterborne paints, clean easily with water, reasonable in costs, dry quick, and Hobby Lobby carries most of what is needed. Generally, Createx offers lots of great, reasonably priced, interchangeable options.
A quick note about safety - follow all safety precautions outlined in the Createx, DupliColor, and PPG literature. Wear a respirator during the spraying process. Wear a respirator AND eye protection during clear coating!
Below are goal and the result. (More process details will be located in an Endnote section at the end of the thread.)
