No matter your skill level, you can make any 3D print look great with this super simple painting technique. I go step by step and show you exactly how I accomplish the metallic bust finish.
    I also explain what tools you will need and how to use them when using Rub'n Buff. This is one of my favorite painting techniques because not only is it easy, the results always come out stellar!

    One thing you really didnt show was just how much shine you can add with some heavy buffing and heat. It can look like a mirror if you really polish it (AFTER) you are done applying it. This rhino came out really nice, just my 2c.
