You're a lifesaver. This is exactly what I wanted to do. Thanks for giving so many comparison types. Your choice of gold+ mettalic red + matt clear coat looks amazing
you should try learning car painting. the paint job you did would come out better with less orange peel, also if you use blue masking tape you don't have to worry about being sloppy. also the painting technique in auto paints is called "candy" which is a basecoat of gold, chrome, or more commonly silver metallic and a colored semi transparent of clear coat on top to show the base coat underneath, that's the candy part. car paints also have something called chameleon/ DNA which is a color shift technology. just remember to use organic rated cartridges for the respirator, and those do have an expiration so keep them inside ziplock bags
I just did a Red Hood helmet and for the black lines i thinned out the paint till it was runny and used a syringe to apply it. It ran down through the lines beautifully. Gravity baby!
I ordered some Duck Brand non-adhesive shelf liners from Amazon and used them on the center section of my helmet. If you use that with your second coat of clear you can simulate a carbon fiber weave when the light hits it the right way.
Great advice, staying in the same family of paints. Gold base and matte clear turned out awesome. I think I’m going to use that with the custom Mando armor I’m doing for someone 😉. Thanks for the idea and as always, awesome job!
not sanded at all does not work with FDM... you will see the print lines. This is why people sand the model... it looks crispy. sure you can prime the heck out of it and get rid of the lines, but it will look bulky and uneven. give it a try and you will see pretty quickly that sanding for 15 minutes makes a huge difference.
dudeeeeeee!!!, you really safe me, i bought a hulkbuster and i looking for a video that help me so how give it this finish and when i almost gave up i found this!
that gold made it beautiful! I wouldn't have thought that could do that effect. very cool! would you suggest to do spray painting for small and tiny prints too?
Great finish. However, your spraying technique could do with some refinement. Mainly this… spray past your work piece, stop, start then pass back over the work piece. If you change direction on the workpiece you’ll more likely to over spray at that turning point. Keep up the good work!
Amazing Video Series!!!! Used this to paint my Darth Revan helmet & made a project out of it with my girlfriend! Thanks so much for going through all the steps & explaining everything! Can't wait for Halloween! I think this might end up becoming a hobby of mine!
Ment to ask this in the previous video. I let my primer/ filler dry for a day, sanded, and washed. When I wash is a lot of the primer comes off. How long should I let it dry before washing? Some what new to this but your videos are very informative
Amazing work and both videos are super clear at demonstration of techniques and tools! How many hours of work would you estimate this entire process from sanding to final product took?
@@3DPrintedProps am I mistaken if I say that with a little practice one can prime and sand this helmet for one hour and still get good results? Especially if the helmet does not have a lot of details and sharp corners, like the one you did on this video? let us know... great video.
This is really amazing!! I want to replicate this, You mentioned using a matte instead of glossy to finish it off. What brand or type of matte finish did you use. I only see a link to the high gloss one in your description.
You have a a rustoleum gold on the thumbnail, but used a different paint. I have the gold as a base and the anodized red on my iron man helmet. I haven’t used the red yet tho

My favourite gold I’ve found is the Montana gold chrome gold After you’ve given the part a good sand give it a good wet coat and I swear you’ll think your holding freshly cast and polished gold bars
Firstly, thank you for creating such easy to follow and thorough videos! I just finished watching the previous lesson, and was curious if I can use acrylic paint over the 2 in 1 primer? If so, should i let the primer cure for a much longer period of time, or can I just let it dry, wet sand, then wash, then paint?
wow! the rendering is absolutely incredible! Unfortunately I have looked everywhere for these paints and varnishes in Europe but they are nowhere to be found and not available for shipment. Does anyone know of an equivalent for France, the UK or Germany?
Firstly, incredible! but im wondering, would it not have been more beneficial to do the acrylic black or any other cutting in work before you put the clear matte on the mask? or would this not work with the acrylic?
How long did you wait between the gold and the red? And also how long did you wait before sanding the run? Beautiful result, here's hoping I can achieve the same :)
Wish I could see what you see in the paint job with different base coats, none of them look metallic to me. I just chalk it up to cameras and screens don't always show true color.
I would test like a black car paint with some fleck in it and the use a matt spray to see how that looks. And or test a high gloss black with a matt spray. I've never tried that, would like to see how it looks.
QUESTION: Do you think it's possible to layer the metalcast purple and red to make a burgundy? I'm looking to re-create the color of the Washington Commanders helmets.
why dont you use iwata compressor and airbrush for details? I would like to find primer, metalic paint in cyprus but unfortunately its difficult here...
I'm completely new to working 3D printing props, and advice to brand new newbie? The first print I'm planning is for Raine Whispers of The Owl House, their violin. I know it's bit of a bigger build and I probably should start smaller, but there's nothing smaller I really plan right now, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!! (Also really want to have the red hood helmet, so if my first build goes well I'm doing that next!!)
I have a couple printers, but I print most of my helmets on either my original CR-10 or my CR-10 mS4. I haven' done any of those helmets but have been thinking about printing some Star Wars helmets.
Thank you for all of your videos ! Best tutorials we can find here, keep the good job man. Also : Is it possible to restart the paint after it dried and been varnished ? My Golden spray paint was not a good one and it ended up reacting with the varnish even 2weeks after it dried... I just want to took off the varnish and paint, and redone it without printing it again. Is it possible ?
hi , i love your video's , they help me so much! i am making a captain amarica shield , i still haven't chosen what colors i want to use , because i don't want to copy the flag. any suggestions ?
Hey man loving your videos! Just a question though. Its is very difficult to find rustoleum products you use and I couldn’t find another brand that makes filler & sandable primer. Would it be possible to get similar results with just regular primer?
This series is really helpfull. My prints finish well but it takes me a lot of extra steps. You did a good job of ordering sanding, priming and bondo efficiently. I'm curious about your painting though. I was under the impression I was supposed to wet sand between coats. My prints definitely benefit from it. With your method you get the print perfect and super smooth, paint without sanding and you don't have any orange peel?
Glad it was helpful! I have seen others sand in-between but I never have. I'm sure you would get an even glossier and smooth finish but this seems to work for me. :)
I'm trying to paint a Daredevil helmet and I'm sort of new to sanding, priming, and painting 3D prints. I want to give it like a matte red look for my helmet. Are there any techniques I could use that you recommend?
To fix runs for the Metal Cast Paint do you wait for it to cure? I have been doing super light coats 10 minutes apart and it still has some runs that I cant prevent.
@@kevinvolo5208 I struggled for a long time with it. Learn the gangtsa gumbo technique. Next Level Painting has a channel that breaks it down quite nicely.
