@Darkwingdad

Upol by far, I still like to use bondo plastic metal for deep defects. Since I’ve started using upol, there’s really not much of a need for bondo glazing putty other than superficial touch ups. I plan on doing a video on it.

I do flocking also LOL

I don't like mixing and spraying putty. Even brushing a mix on is kind of a pain. I'd personally much rather use a rattle can. I already started using the normal upol stuff. I'll definitely be on the look out for this stuff next time!

Great review! I’ve actually decided to use this product on an old Italian acoustic guitar. I’ve gone the traditional route using vinyl sealer and nitrocellulose lacquer. The soundboard of this instrument was made with a questionable quality wood laminate, the top layer being spruce. Sanding resulted in some spots where I went right through that spruce, revealing an ugly layer of horizontal black corduroy-like material. This not the stuff they build most good quality soundboards with. I used a combination of epoxy putty and CA glue to cover these areas, followed by lots of sanding. I thought I successfully filled all the defects. Then, after one coat of white vinyl sealer, and two coats of black gloss nitro dried, all those defects stuck out like a sore thumb. Totally frustrating. I planned for my next project, a solid body electric, to try Dupli-Color Perfect Match products, just for fun. There are those who say that auto body finishes steal some of the resonance from the wood. On acoustic guitars? Probably. But I’d say they’d best consider Leo Fender’s use of DuPont auto paint on some of his guitars built in the early sixties. They also might consider Eddie Van Halen’s wailing “Frankenstein” guitar, which was finished with bicycle paint. Tomorrow I’ll sand off the finish on this acoustic, then try a few layers of this Upol product. Your demo convinced me to choose that route. If it yields a nice flat, level surface, all that’s left to do is put down some Dupli-Color Perfect Match for the color coat, followed by some clear coat. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Grabbed a can this afternoon to try and sand/spray our first piece. We only sanded with 80 grit and went ahead and sprayed 2 coats. Should we have done the 180 as well before laying down the first spray? Drying now so we'll see how we fared, haha. Having a great time and learning in the process. Should we be sanding very heavy handed? I see you scuffed it up really well. Thanks and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I think if you don’t want to do as much prep sanding raptor. But if you have a cleaner print or something not too detailed the expert. Biggest difference is raptor is a filler so it will add more durability. Guess it’s time for more head to head testing.

For miniatures, would you recommend the Upol or bondo primer to keep details?

@Darkwingdad

I like bondo personally but the new upol filler primer is very similar. The sandable upol is thicker so I might be hesitant to use that on miniatures.

love your work :) I'm planning to 3d print a project out of PLA with 0.2 layer Hight and make it look like a metal. I have sanding papers with grids up to 3000 grid. I noticed you only done dry sanding. Is there a point or grids you would recommend wet sanding if I would want to carry on up to grid 3000? Should I spray the project only 2 times after the initial sanding or later on between the sanding stages as well? Did only once similar project with Bondo putty but it was very labor intense. This looks much more efficient :) Planning to get the Upol High 5 Primer GREY 450ml Aerosol High Build as the one your testing is hard to get in UK

You really only need to wetsand IF your last layer of primer before paint has a gritty feel to it or there’s trash/imperfections on the primer. You don’t want to make the primer too smooth, paint needs something to grab on to. When I need to wetsand it’s with 800. Nothing higher. 3000 grit should be used on clear coat imperfections only

If it scrapes against it will inbevitably wear it off. The only thing I could think of is to do a plasti dip style paint which is more rubbery. It won’t be shiny but more durable and if it gets worn off you can simply respray it. One option you can try is putting felt on the edges of your suit where it meets. That’ll help reduce friction
