STEP 6.  PAINTING THE BLUE MAX WIND TUNNEL MODEL

A high build cellulose primer is fine sanded with 220 then 360 grit production paper (or silicone carbide wet & dry), after which the model is dusted.  A two pack paint is then mixed with hardener and thinner at the specified ratio and sprayed with a normal Devilbiss suction feed gun.  The paint should not need polishing as two-pack paints give a very high build full gloss look.  Care should be taken when using 2 pack paints.  They contain cyanide.  Breathing apparatus and fan forced ventilation are therefore essential.

The tail fin, tires and window details are all that is needed to complete.
