hey guys, do u know how to make really sharp bands on missles? im trying to do yellow and red bands...

Ive tried spray tape, and then cutting them into thin strips and sticking them to missles, but that failes because the paint from the edges come off..

ne suggestions?!

I take the missile and chuck it into a small battery powered drill ( bought one as a kit in Japan years ago from Marui)

turn it on low ( use a wall transformer to adjust the voltage to 1.5 V) and while it is spinning i use the paints with a thin brush 2/0 5/0 or even 10/0 as needed.

Also do the same with bombs if they will slip into the chuck.

Painting Bands on missiles.

For a yellow band....paint the misslle yellow. Let yellow paint dry.......wrap a thin strip around yellow area of missile....this will porect the yellow paint......now paint the rest of the millile the colour of the missile body (white?). Let missile body paint dry and remove band of tape protecting yellow band of paint.

To do 2 bands you repeat the part about the yellow paint but using the other colour of the second band before you paint the body of the missile (white?).

This technique works very well.
