i think it looks great!
I think it looks good too. We buy brand new shiney parts to paint them to look abused. Gotta love it!
I know, I hated having to paint this beautiful hunk of aluminum
Thanks for the comments guys!

Deadbolt - that looks fantastic, can you explain how you painted (a little step by step breakdown).
Isn't it odd how we take something, make it look like complete ****, and say it's beautiful?
i'm looking at my shiny new one here, and realizing that i have to do this to mine soon
nooooooooooooooooooooo!!
i want it to stay shiny!
i hear ya tk7602...part of me wants to keep it all nice and new

Step 1: I completely spray-painted every piece ultra-flat black.
Step 2: Next I scraped out all the details with an exacto knife.
Step 3: Then I sprayed on a light coat of satin polyurethane clear coat.
Step 4: Then, with a kinda dark grey enamel model paint, I brushed it (in small portions) on each piece, Then I emedietly started dabbing the areas that are painted with the grey with a paper towel, until it made the black look kinda grey. I didn't put any grey on the little fin things on the middle piece, exept the very bottom fins on each side. All of the top fins were left "un-washed"
Step 5: With some silver spray paint, I very lightly misted the entire rocket, but I sprayed a little more on the bottom side of the rocket.(You cant really see the silver at all in the picture...**** camera)
Final Step: I clear coated it again, and then the rocket is complete!
Thanks Guys!
