Boy this is going to look good. I can't wait to get the last coat of paint on. Photos to come...

I've primed the fins with Krylon white primer and will paint them soon with fluorescent paint. Two fins will be red glowing orange and the third will be yellow. I'll paint the tube with Krylon Industrial Tough Coat Black Gloss. Tough Coat is a very tough coating and goes on very well. Two or three coats of this and it's almost chip proof.

I have got the fin fillets sanded and filled. All I need to do now is prime and paint the lower part of the rocket. I am done with the main section, ebay, and nosecone. I painted the cone red/orange fluorescent and the tube gloss black. I'll be painting the lower section tube gloss black also and will paint the fins in fluorescent green and yellow. I'll probably go with two yellow and one green. I think when I do launch this rocket, I will try to use a really bright colored main chute to go with… Continue

I have been working on my LOC Bruiser EXP for a couple months now and am in the process of sanding the fin fillets.I plan on launching the rocket at our next club launch to obtain my L2 certification. I'll be launching this rocket on a K1100W. I have not glassed this rocket as I don't think it is necessary for the motors I will use in it.

As of now, I haven't decided on a paint scheme for this rocket but am leaning on a roll pattern type much like the Black Brant II.

More to come...
