Now it is time to paint the fuse.

I have been a fan of K&B Ultrapoxy paint and decided to use KlassKote's Epoxy paint instead. Originally I thought about applying only the white primer only to save weight. It turns out the primer does its best to be sandable. The surface is not durable as such and I do not think it can last long. During priming, I added 40% in volume of milled fiberglass to help fill dents, pinholes etc.

At the end, three more colors of KlassKote were acquired: white, deep blue and gun metal grey. All gloss type. I wet-sand off almost all primer and applied these three colors in this order: white, grey and blue. GreatPlane's mask tape was used to separate colors.

I am pretty happy about the end result as the surface is very tough and durable. I wet-sand with 800 grit sandpaper the entire surface when done. The surface is unbelievably smooth and no edge can be felt between two different colors.
