See attached photo first, then ask yourself (and Lee) these questions.........

Question 1. What is the color scheme in the this picture?
Question 2. Who is the gentleman pictured?
Question 3. What colors were that fin-can produced of that era?

I'd be guessing that the cone and transition were molded black.
(the new-era Estes versions are molded yellow and paint just doesn't stick well to it)


Try washing the cone/transition *really* well with dish detergent, then using a good 2 or 3 coats of sandable primer. I used Krylon gray, buit Kilz should work, too. The paint stuck just fine.
