I wanted to ask a question what is good for finishing petg ?
Some pieces have clear layerlines .I bought a filler auto spray 1k .I wonder what is best for this model?

Automotive Primer-Filler would work. How is it critical for you to have layer lines? It is quite a job to sand it out, especially with so many small details. You'll need a few coats of primer and sanding between them. If it is your first model, just focus on finishing it and making it run.
