Liquid fuel tank assembled and base coat on. 

The solid rocket boosters had a bad coat of paint I had applied several years ago. I applied oven cleaner and wrapped in foil to strip the paint. The right booster is the result, took off all the paint and most of the primer. 

Not all the paint came off, so applied a second coat of oven cleaner.
