• Question for those that use 3d printed parts: Do you use primer on the parts? Have you tried not using primer? Curious if the parts don't react with lacquer or acrylic paints. *NM*
  • FWIW, I use parts from a variety of 3D-printer folks. I swab them first with 91% alcohol & Q-tip. Use Gunze & Tamiya primers--no problems. Shoot Tamiya & RoG w/o primers--no problems here either. *NM*
  • Ford tires I spray right over the bare resin. For the rest I use a basic automotive spray bomb primer. *NM*
  • I always wash them with Dawn detergent, and prime most times, depdning on the finish and level of detail in the parts. *NM*
