Speed up your 3d print body prep

[stitchdup]

If you want to speed up your body prep on 3d printed bodies you only need 3 main products. You will need automotive filler primer (pick one that works with your paints) and a couple of sanding sponge cloths (I use tamiya but others are available). I use a 600 grit sponge first just to knock back the larger print lines and mask any of the finer details then holding the primer can low to the body i spray against the print lines. This way more of the paint catches in the valleys of the print lines and speeds up the process. Now I remove the masking and let it dry for a day or so. Next up is a 1500 sponge and i use it to do the whole body, including any masked off trim before checking to see if any areas need another round of filler primer. If not your good to go with your usual model prep and primers. I usually do any scribbing after the filler primer. I do this just because its easier to see and not for any other reasons.
