Simple “How to Paint” instructions (customer-friendly)

Step 1: Prep the surface

• Wash parts with warm water + dish soap, then let fully dry.
  

Step 2: Prime (highly recommended)

• Use a spray primer or brush-on primer.

• Apply light coats, let dry, then repeat.

Step 3: Paint

• Use thin coats. Two to four thin coats beats one thick coat every time.

• Let each coat dry before adding the next.

Step 4: Seal and protect

• Finish with a clear coat to protect your paint.

• Let it cure overnight for best durability.

Step 5: Assemble

• Dry-fit parts first.

• If needed, use a small amount of super glue for final assembly.

Best paint to use on unfinished PLA

Best overall: Water-based acrylic paint

It sticks well (especially over primer), it’s easy, and it cleans up with water.

Good brands:

• Apple Barrel / FolkArt (budget + solid)

• Vallejo (smooth, great coverage)

• Citadel (amazing but pricier)
