Had this thing printed months ago, but I procrastinated and finally got it put together. Just needs paint now.

I was debating on giving it a worn/rough look. I still haven't really decided. I think I'm going to shoot for a red/black theme with red being primary. Probably a darker red and I was thinking of using a matte black. I just am not sure about how I'm going to utilize the black.
Definitely going to be priming it tomorrow though. Then I need to run somewhere and pick out my colors.
Sand before priming. And make sure you use filler primer! Will help a LOT. You will probably go through 3-4 cycles of sanding, filler, sanding, bondo, sanding then paint lol.
I didn't even know that was a thing, looks like I'm returning the primer I got. Thanks.
You bet! My crown here, is 3d printed. I did about 3 cycles of filler and sanding because I got impatient and rushed and you can still see the print lines. Still looks good overall tho.
