Man alive you guys are WAY more in to this than I thought possible . I thought I was doing good to have bought spray paint for my six year olds Wal-mart kit.
This is my daughter`s 4H rocket for this year. As you can tell she likes green and black. She does such a better good at building rockets than me. The sticker is from Mark at Stickershock. The judging is this Saturday. The plan is that this will be her L2 rocket come this fall.

Went to NERRF 7 and flew my X-celerator for the first time. Got My L2 Cert using a CTI J355 Redline motor. I used 3 altimeters. A Perfectflite and a Raven II for backup and a Jolly Logic Altimeter Two attached to the main chute. Rocksim estimated 3311' and the altimeters averaged 3302' Not bad! A Garmin Astra DC 40 GPS tracker in the nose ensured I got the rocket back. A Boostervision Hi Def camera recorded the flight. The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJo1iTu0TmA
Thanks for a great kit Gary. It was a pleasure meeting you at NERRF.
The paint is Dupont Nason Ful-base basecoat (2 coats) with Selectclear on top (4 coats). This is a catalized polyurethane paint. Color is T-70 Blue Effect which is a Mitsubishi car color.
