Best way to paint jet intakes

[tomfomes]

Hi all,

 

as I have very little experience with this and am eager to learn quickly (and preferably not on my own mistakes 🙂 ), I was wondering what is the best way to paint the (usually) white inside of the jet intakes.

 

Watching several WIPs I saw different techniques, which I don't even know properly.

 

Could you please advise what's the best approach in your opinion to get nice, smooth & gloss finish on those jet intakes? Escpecially if you want to get finish with no seams?

 

Thanks for tips!

I do fine with just spraying a gloss or satin white.  You might want to look at the household latex method.  Tape the intake at one end, pour in some plain, household white latex paint .  roll the intake around until the surface is coated then remove  the tape.  Allow the excess to roll out and you should be all set.  I've done this before with good results but it's been a while so I'm sure someone else will chime in if I missed something.
