I am still juggling the idea of painting the fins prior to attachment.

If I remember correctly, the Estes instructions actually told you to paint the tubes before assembly. We've run into so much trouble (times 10) with the prepainted tubes, that I'd rather fuss with more masking tape, but thats my preference.
