Painting can breathe life and color into your
3D prints
A flawless paint job starts with priming
Support material around your part can be cut
off with flush cutters or peeled off by hand
We'll use a rotary tool and hand files to
sand down the support marks
Using fine grit sand paper gives the surface
a smooth finish
To keep dust down, try wetting the sand paper
We're mounting our part on a dowel to keep
it free from fingerprints
You can see I'm using short, rapid strokes
starting and ending the spray off of the part
For even coverage it helps to rotate the part
slowly while painting
After adding the first coat we'll do a close
inspection to see if any touch up is needed
When the second coat of primer is dry it's
ready for painting
We'll post a link to our detailed guide in
the comments
In our next video, we'll continue on to spray
painting to finish our paint job
