Re: Prepping a 3d print for painting
I have a vague memory of someone recommending bumper paint, because it was thicker than normal, and could contribute to filling in print lines, I'll try and find it

Filler Primer and Plastic Primer are my usual goto's, but they take a fair amount of wet sanding to work out the ridges

I want all the lines removed also, as they are not there on the real tank. I can accept a few small ones in little spots, but massive print lines on the side of the tank are a definite "no go at this station."

As promised, this is the way wIbblywobbly does it.
Although I think I'd still give it a bit of a sanding.
