AKMod Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Test assembly Polishing took five days to complete it. Because of the structural bearing problem this time, a hot melt nut was used to strengthen the fixing method. After testing that there is no problem with the assembly, start the next step and spray the primer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKMod Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Spray paint First coat of primer spraying. After spraying, continue to fill the soil and then spray the second primer after polishing. Btw, because there is no time to finish the spray booth!!! So only simple homework hahaha....

AKMod Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Spray paint After the sanding is completed, the second primer is sprayed. Then you can spray the metal plating primer. I am accustomed to stacking the old effects from the inside to the outside to show make real. Sanding filling primerx2, metal electroplating primer (reducing the bottom layer of the metal exoskeleton), peeling effect paint, metallic white finish paint, scratched aging, acrylic paint aging treatment, transparent protective paint.
