Painted Target Pulp Rocket Sippy-Cup

I was able to paint up one of the Target sippy-cup Pulp Rockets over the weekend, and thought I'd show how it turned out..  These cups are currently on clearance at a number of Target stores across the country.
   Overall, I'm pleased with the results.   Deciding to prime black was a mistake, as it took several coats of the light colors I chose for the color scheme to cover the black undercoat.

Here is the final result.  I took the color scheme from an old Buck Rogers tin toy.

The original cup.

First, I pulled out the plastic straw. Then I primed with Krylon Fusion Flat Black

I cut a small piece of card to fit in the window where the hole for the cup's straw was located.

And I added a washer to the bottom to create an exhaust port. In retrospect these modifications should have been done before priming, but I was so excited to get it prepped for painting that I primed it before I thought about what modifications I wanted to make.
