Once the white had cured for a full 24 hrs I went ahead and started masking off the the parts I wanted to keep white using Frog painters tape and then spray the yellow next which I used Krylon old equipment yellow keep in mind the white is a lacquer spray paint and the yellow is a Enamel so that is also why I went that order.

The yellow will take longer to somewhat cure being that its an enamel paint so I would wait a full 24 hours to 48 and before handling and I would test to make sure its not tacky before applying painters tape.


Once I was confident that the paint was cured enough to apply painters tape, I went ahead and masked off all the areas that I didn't want Burgundy and sprayed the piano keys, and the tops/ bottoms of the side tanks . I used ACE Hardware store brand Burgundy enamel paint cause I couldn't find the Rust-oleum version near me.


If I had to redo do this I would have just ordered the Rust-oleum version cause this ACE formulation is watery and bled through on some parts and hard to get even coats, also I think its a tad bit too glossy but a nice satin or matte clear coat will cut it down.

As you can see there is some bleed through of the Burgundy, but ill do some clean up later. Next I will mask off all the areas that I don't want Royal Blue, but I will have to wait a bit since the Burgundy is enamel and still hasn't cured quite yet.


Here are is a picture of the completed missile I used a basic metallic silver paint but didn't like it so I used some rub in buff over it when it was cured and here is what it looks like.
