Painting the Model: A Quick Guide
We encountered a challenge when the correct filament color wasn’t available for our 3D print. Instead of delaying the project, we opted to paint the model using a color we had on hand: MTN RV-115 Tutti Frutti. This spray paint turned out to be a fantastic choice, providing excellent coverage and a smooth, durable finish.
Here’s the process I followed:
- Priming the Model: Before applying the paint, I applied two coats of primer. This step is essential for ensuring that the paint adheres well and enhances the final finish.
- Applying the Paint: After the primer dried, I applied MTN RV-115 Tutti Frutti. It only took a couple of light coats to achieve a solid, even color. The paint covers beautifully, dries quickly, and adds a vibrant, long-lasting finish to the model.
Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a reliable spray paint for your 3D prints, I highly recommend MTN RV-115. It’s perfect for achieving a professional, polished look, even if the original filament color isn’t available.
