I have also remedied the incorrect launch cap on the nose of the Gemini capsule. The simplest way to achieve this while using the wraps is to pre-paint the nose white. I do this after sealing the surface and letting it cure out, then dip the nose into a gloss white paint bottle cap. It goes on a little thick initially, but when dry makes for a nice smooth finish. The wrap for the antennae can needs to be cut down a little, but once applied over the paint makes for a nice clean separation line.
