    I love that you made a deal in depth tutorial for this, I see a lot of it online but not in depth on how to do it

    a little trick i learned in body school you can buy powdered guide coat or spray black paint at a 3-4 ft distance dusting on the object before wetsand, with a foam sanding block the black specs stay in any low areas. little to no hand pressure and it will be glass. great video

    Nice job. I appreciate how you explain exactly what will be done and what to expect realistically. So many other videos tell you things like "Let's show you how to get a perfectly smooth finish with only a little sanding" and then halfway through they are talking about "So after filling and sanding 15 times all the way to 10000 grit we can still see some layer lines, but only minor ones". Thanks again.

    Great work! Did you sand after bondo just before you primed it?

  • @AsimPaints
    @AsimPaints 9 місяців тому +1

    I got the body filler bondo thinking I would use it for stuff like this. Pain in the butt to mix with the hardner. I then saw this existed. I KNEW it was gonna be perfect for 3D print! Nice video.
    Also, just a tip, paint gold over gloss black. It will pop WAY more. Painting directly on grey primer is going to dull it out a bit.

    • @ImperfectBuilds
      @ImperfectBuilds  9 місяців тому

      Yes when I was searching I stared with the hardener stuff it dries way to quick and is more of a headache than anything! Thanks for the tip and comment!

    Got a lotta value out of this vid so I subbed. One suggestion for the metallic gloss would be to paint it black first than clear coat before the metallic gold for that real shine.

    Did you sand the bondo before priming?

  • @chronomize
    @chronomize 10 місяців тому +1

    Does priming before sanding make it sand better? Or did you for this just so we can see the results better? And will this work just as good for PETG?

    • @ImperfectBuilds
      @ImperfectBuilds  10 місяців тому +1

      So I had painted this originally because I wasn’t gonna sand it or mess with it but I decided to used it as the example for the video. I would recommend sanding first that way your not using more paint than you need to and save on costs cause even with using a filler primer you may have some deep layer lines so I always sand first then go to to Bondo and Acetone then prime. I have not tried it on PETG or ABS but I’m sure you would have similar results but those 2 materials will take more work to sand as they are stronger and more heat resistant! Hope this helps!

    Did you prime it as soon as the bonds dried or did u sand it and THEN prime it?

    • @ImperfectBuilds
      @ImperfectBuilds  11 місяців тому +1

      I lightly sanded the Bondo to achieve a smooth surface making sure there wasn’t any high spots rinsed the dust off and then primed you don’t have to go crazy when sanding the Bondo because it applies thin enough that it’s already pretty smooth and your gonna end up sanding the primer once you have primed it I prefer wet sanding working from about a 600 grit up to and 1500 after it’s primed that’s what I used to achieve the final result in the video I wouldn’t wet sand the Bondo I’d use a 220 grit to sand the Bondo it’s rough enough to take it off quick but you’ll have good control with how much your removing any lower and you might take off to much. Hope this helps

    Should you wear a mask during the acetone and bondo stage, or just during sanding and spraying?
