PLA 3D painting

Recommended Posts

Regarding painting of PLA printed plastic items, do you prime and paint them as plastic/styrene model kits?

 

Can you use auto paints on it...and must it be primed with auto primer or best to use just model paints

 

 

Should parts be washed first?

 

Many thanks, new territory.

Just spray auto paint on them. No need to wash or prime.

 

The professional prop makers do prime and sand to achieve a smoother finish, but that's tedious.
