If you have chosen not to paint your parts before final assembly, now you can sand, prime and paint. The easiest way to get good results is to
spray paint the entire rocket all one color. You may also paint the Ascent Module a different color than the body. When completely dry, proceed
to decal placement.
If you have already painted your parts prior to assembly, proceed to decal placement.
