When the epoxy is set, I lightly sanded out the bumps at the joints. I rolled up a piece of sandpaper and rubbed along the joint. The wings and tube were already sanded prior to gluing.

The cigar tube cap is a nice red, so I'm leaving it that way and won't paint it. I wrapped a piece of painters tape around the end and they sprayed a coat of primer.

After the primer is dry (you will have to flip it over and spray primer on the underside as well), spray on a top coat of gloss enamel...I decided on white this time.
