...few tips from a painter, use a glove when you're handling the liquid bondo! that's chemicals getting in to your skin there! Second, as a pre paint layer it's better to use 800 grit wet, 1200 is actually pretty fine and a pre polishing grit, it will be bad for adhesion, maybe not directly when you paint it, but in the longer run, like a few years chances are (depending on the paint) that it's gonna crack or come loose...lastly, USE SCOTCH PADS! for this type of sanding, red scotch pads are excellent here, they are a savior to sand difficult places without damaging small details and are also great to use as a final wet sand before painting.

Came to say the same about the high grit sanding. I would say 600-800 is a great stopping place for paint. If you are going to cut and polish then the finer grit will do well for that glass like finish.

My God...someone who actually takes the time to explain the process rather than just rush through it, and actually EXPLAINS what products THEY. ARE. USING. One of the most irritating things people do is, "Now I'm gonna do this but I'm not gonna bother telling you what I'm using to accomplish the desired effect." .................. Well then, what's the POINT of a how to video if you DON'T tell us what you're using?? Everything I wanted to know has been answered in this video. And because you did such an excellent job explaining it, I subscribed. I'm definitely gonna watch your other videos, thanks for making such great content!

I'm using this as my BIBLE right now. This is the most clear video I've seen, and I thank you SO much! It seems like everyone has their own process for this, but a lot of those processes seem unnecessarily repetitive and complicated.

You are super awesome! I've been wanting to make a replica helmet of a character my fiance loves and I was scared about making a mess and ruining the print. You've explained things so clearly and show what you're doing to the point where I'm not anywhere near as terrified of this. Thank you so much for sharing. The final product in the next video turned out so amazing that I'm going to for sure have a hard time deciding between the matte or the polished shiny look.

Finally had an opportunity arise to give me an excuse to make a helmet for a RPG. Ordered my helmet from Villainous and while I'm waiting for it I checked out their FAQ's which lead to your videos... and I must say... I have quite a bit of anxiety being a noob and attempting my first build, but your videos have definitely eased my concerns and built my confidence. Thank you for posting the series!!

Thank you so much for your effort put into these videos, I just got into 3d printing and found your channel incredibly helpful! Sanding has been a pain in the ass for me, I do also tend to have OCD lol. One quick question, I'm gonna print some nylon parts soon, does these sanding process works on nylon as well? Or are there any other things I should pay attention to? Appreciate your help!

That long pause at the end lmao. Seriously, this was very helpful. I've been doing my Halo helmet wrong all this time.

God, I am so tempted to trying this for the Black Noir suit from The Boys (I am a teacher, so I get summers off and want to go to a convention this summer!) but I have never even touched a 3d printer lol. Worried I will become overwhelmed! Great video :)

Thanks for this, I’ve been wanting to get into model making for some time and want to try 3D printing car models, but didn’t know what to do about layer lines as automotive paint won’t look good on them.

This is a great video. I usually give a very thin coat of resin ( I use anycubic clear resin, used in 3d printers) before I start to sand. I keep it in the sun for about 20 mins (I know they tell you to cure it for 12 hours but since i am sanding it I found 20 mins in sun is more than enough) and then I start to sand. This way I don't need to use the wood filler later as all the cracks will be filled and also I can start from 220 grid paper (saves a lot of time). I will definitely be using sponge trick (awesome trick, had not thought about it). Thanks...

Hello I found your videos super helpful! But I wanted to ask what grit sandpaper do you use after applying the primer?

If you find you sometimes miss areas you can do a guide coat - a thin dusting of any color - which is just to show you where you have sanded already.
