At the risk of having threads collide, I’m leaning toward doing an entirely black rocket for my next kit – new tubing material (dare I say REVLOLUTIONARY tubing material??), black G10 fins, black gelcoat cone. It would not need finishing,…   Read more»

I used red iron oxide for red epoxy. The stuff works great and you have to use so little.Edward
