Great rocket design! Easy to build; But instruction fall short

Great rocket design! Easy to build; But instruction fall short on how to paint that Black/Yellow version and get the black speckled transition to look right.
I purchased both the Vapor and the Hi-Flier XL rocket kits and was building both at same time. Noticed both had the two body tubes. So ordered an ejection baffle for each. Then noticed the long upper vapor body tube was not necessary with a baffle, so cut the upper tube down, bought the 24mm engine mounts kit and made each a booster from that portion of cut off.
Caution - Boosted, either one will go out of sight. Put a screamer if you ever want to find it and launch it a second time!
