If, (and that's a big if) it's sunny tomorrow, I'll shoot the first color coat of gloss white on the upper section. Then the 'fun' part, taping it all off for the gloss black roll patterns. The Service Module is removable for separate painting of aluminum so no taping from the SLA is required. Just the radiator panels. Easy enough to do.
 
Will it be sunny where you live? I'll ship it out pronto to you. ;)
NO Steven i live in norfolk in uk an in this country its nearly always raining an cloudy ugh we do get a few days out of the whole yrs when its sunny as im waiting to spray my tiger hull again but i bet im still waiting by nxt july lol

Used to live in Phoenix, AZ for roughly two decades so the weather was certainly more acceptable for painting outdoors. Yet I much prefer the forested regions as we get a truer form of four seasons here. Not so with the desert.

I've applied two coats of gloss white on the third stage and aft interstage. Sanding will be next and additional coats will be applied till smooth. Then the masking for the black roll patterns. Nothing really to see at this time until the application of the black.
