I went with more-or-less the standard paint job. Due to a mix-up, I ended up matte-coating the booster and sustainer body, and clear-coating the payload section. But it looks fine anyway!

Next I get to see where I've stored the decals. Hopefully it won't be as good as the spot where I hid the two upper stage LT fins. I know it was a book, but I can't remember what I was reading when I started this project. Okay, coloring.
