QUESTION: Do you think it's possible to layer the metalcast purple and red to make a burgundy? I'm looking to re-create the color of the Washington Commanders helmets.

How long did you wait between the gold and the red? And also how long did you wait before sanding the run? Beautiful result, here's hoping I can achieve the same :)

Using the gold and red however I found a slightly different gold and love it

Hey man loving your videos! Just a question though. Its is very difficult to find rustoleum products you use and I couldn’t find another brand that makes filler & sandable primer. Would it be possible to get similar results with just regular primer?

I just did a Red Hood helmet and for the black lines i thinned out the paint till it was runny and used a syringe to apply it. It ran down through the lines beautifully. Gravity baby!

This series is really helpfull. My prints finish well but it takes me a lot of extra steps. You did a good job of ordering sanding, priming and bondo efficiently. I'm curious about your painting though. I was under the impression I was supposed to wet sand between coats. My prints definitely benefit from it. With your method you get the print perfect and super smooth, paint without sanding and you don't have any orange peel?

not sanded at all does not work with FDM... you will see the print lines. This is why people sand the model... it looks crispy. sure you can prime the heck out of it and get rid of the lines, but it will look bulky and uneven. give it a try and you will see pretty quickly that sanding for 15 minutes makes a huge difference.

Loving how this looks. Is the red matte paint duplicolor? I don't think the brand for that was mentioned. I'm looking to do my helmet like this.

Firstly, thank you for creating such easy to follow and thorough videos! I just finished watching the previous lesson, and was curious if I can use acrylic paint over the 2 in 1 primer? If so, should i let the primer cure for a much longer period of time, or can I just let it dry, wet sand, then wash, then paint?

@3DPrintedProps

2 жыл бұрын

Sure, u can use acrylic paint. Just let the primer dry as long as directed. At least 24 hours

The finish looks more like a satin, I love the look so far on to the next video.

Great finish. However, your spraying technique could do with some refinement. Mainly this… spray past your work piece, stop, start then pass back over the work piece. If you change direction on the workpiece you’ll more likely to over spray at that turning point. Keep up the good work!

How did you get those forehead "wrinkles" so clean, was this a single piece print? I only have an Ender 3 V2 Neo so my Mando Helmet printed in 8 pieces, (13 when you add his "ears" and rear vent"

you should try learning car painting. the paint job you did would come out better with less orange peel, also if you use blue masking tape you don't have to worry about being sloppy. also the painting technique in auto paints is called "candy" which is a basecoat of gold, chrome, or more commonly silver metallic and a colored semi transparent of clear coat on top to show the base coat underneath, that's the candy part. car paints also have something called chameleon/ DNA which is a color shift technology. just remember to use organic rated cartridges for the respirator, and those do have an expiration so keep them inside ziplock bags
