Painting a Full Size 3D Printed C3-PO | From Start To Finish
One of the most recognizable characters in Star Wars and one of the scariest to create. This print has been sitting in my garage printed for over 2 years. I finally got the courage to finish him. Using new techniques I got from @TheLastLayer111 I was ready to tackle. My process was light sand and then glazing putty and more sanding for all the seams and rough spots. Then I used automotive filler primer to do the rest. After some wet sanding to 400 grit it was ready for a single stage black glossy automotive paint. This was my first time using this so it was a bit rough. I went on way to wet causing micro bubbles (lesson learned). After that dried I used Alcad chrome (10 bottles) to get the chrome finish. I had an auto paints shop mix me up a gold clear tint that I could apply over the chrome. After that it was 2k clear and then some weathering. I know I am missing some parts but they are coming to get him 100% done. Files: https://www.thingiverse.com/jesse_m/d... Printer: https://us.store.bambulab.com/product...
