[corpse]

so far gray primer.

need to drink some more to come up with how to paint it.

was thinging about white base coat
and
maybe fading a red metal flake in from the bottom fins

what do you all think ?

 

[corpse]

don't know please help
on paint .

looking for in put .

 

[graylensman]

I'm thinking gold or silver. It has a sort of "First Spaceship On Venus" feel about it.

Looks kinda missiley to me.
Or maybe a nike smokey paint job with 1 fin one colour and the other 3 another? Im always hopeless at deciding how to paint my rockets lol.

I agree with graylensman, it has a kinda-retro 50's style to it.

Maybe Rustoleum silver paint with a black cockpit windshield, and the obligatory "XR-1" (or something similar) on one fin. And a hatch! It has to have a hatch of course, with a little ladder you can prop up against it for display.

 

[Aerobee300]

Really does put me in the mind of 50's Sci-fi ... paint it Chrome ... with XR-1 and a hatch and ladder !!!

 

[corpse]

the 50 es i not that OLD LMFAO !

just got back from the store.

i got a can of Black Pearl for the base coat and a can of
Black-n-Blue Pearl for the fade in coat
and a can of glosscote

 

[corpse]

went with the Black-n-Blue Pearl
looks like a deep purple
.
took a pic but looks a deep black
but in the sun its a blackis blue
hard to tell in a pic
but i think it looks good

Nice hot sauce collection

 

[wwattles]

Given your taste in hot sauces, I think either 50's style hot-rod flames or tombstones would be appropriate.

if you hot sauce check out
death sauce it rocks
not to hot and tastes great.
if you want hot they got HOT

he it is all painted and ready to fly.
stopping by the park on the way home after work.

looks black in pic. , but if you get it in the light it looks
purple.

 

[graylensman]

Now it needs an alien skull-and-crossbones to be the Pirate Scourge Of The Dark Nebula!

 

[corpse]
