| ok, well i finally decided to go for it and repaint my shuttle canopy. I originally sanded it, then wet-sanded it, then fine sanded it. then gave it some orange paint. sanded again. over and over, painting and sanding like 2-3 times. then i found i didn't have a clear coater, so i dropped it. now I'm back with that same neon orange paint, and also white and red, and clear. Here are some pics - i did this just about an hour ago in my garage.
It is slightly more neon than that - the electronic exposure isn't that accurate.
So, should i put white in the front, red on bottom? Maybe drop red spots on the back and turn it down wards so it makes teardrop-like things on the side? I dunno. This is my first real multi-color paint job. Anything can be redone with just some sanding  Any ideas?

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? |
BTW, my engine runs relatively great, but the main rotating shaft is bent and we don't know how to get the JB weld off. It's a really great attraction. But I think I'll stick with nitros.
