Paint Selection for Model Rockets

Video Transcript

"O.k. we have a model. We've talked about the engines that you put in the model but it looks pretty ugly and most people want their models to look pretty; and you can have problems with your epoxy here or quick glue, super glue. So now what we want to do is we're going to talk about paint selection. What I have here are some plastic model; modeling paints as well as some spray paints. You can get your spray paint anywhere, we happened to have bought these at a hobby store locally to this area. You can go to any big store to buy paint that goes on; the crayon type. I don't care what kind of paint you use but you can use it to paint these models. What I usually suggest is, it's hard to paint the model; this size model with a lot of detail but you can do it and you can apply, and I would suggest using either like a; well like a nicely visible paint that's not in nature. Sometimes even a very bright loud color like yellows or reds; blue is good, whites really good because it'll, it'll stand out in the; in the, in the field someplace. You paint the model with the spray paint and the what I can do, you can do later is come back over it with some type of a detail paint; here I got yellow. Yellow might be good to put someplace on the fins or something like that, just to give it a little bit of character. It's up to the individual in the painting. So have fun."
