Prepping and Paint
Prep and Paint instruction
removing supports
Removing Supports (If Present)
Some parts may still be attached to printing supports for protection.
Recommended Tools:
- Flush cutters / sprue cutters
- Hobby knife (X-Acto style)
- Fine sanding sticks (400–1000 grit)
- Safety glasses
Instructions:
• Work slowly — resin is rigid and can snap if stressed
• Always cut supports — do NOT twist parts off
• Hold the part securely while snipping supports
• Remove remaining nubs carefully with a hobby knife
• Lightly sand contact points smooth
For best finish quality, final sand with 800–1000 grit before priming.
Cleaning and Prep
Even fully cured resin should be cleaned before painting.
- Wash in warm (not hot) water with mild dish soap
- Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush
- Rinse thoroughly
- Allow to fully air dry before priming
Do NOT use acetone or harsh solvents.
Painting Guide
For best paint adhesion:
• Lightly scuff surface with 800–1000 grit sandpaper
• Apply a thin coat of quality primer
Recommended primers:
- Tamiya Fine Surface Primer
- Mr. Surfacer
- Automotive filler primer (larger scale parts)
Resin accepts:
- Acrylic paints
- Enamel paints
- Lacquer paints (test first)
Apply multiple light coats to preserve fine detail.
Adhesives & Instalation
These parts are resin — standard plastic model cement will NOT work.
Use:
- CA glue (cyanoacrylate / super glue) — thin or medium
- 2-part epoxy (for larger or heavier parts)
Tips:
• Lightly scuff glue contact areas for stronger bond
• Use minimal glue to avoid detail loss
• Accelerator may be used sparingly
Warnings
Important Information & Warnings
- Resin is rigid and may be brittle in thin areas
- Do not bend parts
- Avoid excessive heat (may cause warping)
- Sanding resin produces dust — wear a mask when sanding heavily
- Not intended for children under 14
- Small parts may present a choking hazard
Warping Fix
Warping Fix (If Needed)
