Can’t help with a steady hand but looking forward to seeing the finished rocket. Rustoleum Black Night Metallic is a great color but I have never tried to mask it. I do remember that it took a very long time to dry on the Lil’ Nuke that I painted all black but I laid it on pretty heavy and humidity here in LA is pretty brutal.
