Ayye a fellow New Yorker. From Long Island over here. Bout to get my first 3D printer very soon (Saturn 2) and was surprised to not find that many detailed advice videos on painting 3D models. This is by far exactly what I was looking for and I don’t even feel the need to look at any more. Thank you!

Thanks man really appreciate it. That why I made the video couldn’t find anything straightforward on how to get started. So after a lot of trial and error I made my own lol. Really glad it helped.
Really cool video. I also find a great detail video to help pop detail is to dry-brush your highlights. Essentially the opposite of a wash, but instead of soaking your model with a watered down brush, you pat the brush until almost dry and then lightly pass over the model. where a wash seeps into the crevices, dry-brushing only kisses the peaks. combining the two really makes details pop.
Oh it’s an obsession lol already. Just got to get the dry brush thing going right. How long does it take you to get it right? Because I’m just thinking it’s like a mental block for me. FYI thanks for the compliment.
@@CrazyWillTechShow I actually picked up on dry-brushing pretty quickly when I did more painting. Getting back into models and painting again after a few years. If memory serves, the Stan Winston School had some really great courses that would cover it, which lead to some real "ah ha" moments. Can't remember which ones exactly, but they are almost all a joy to watch back when I had a subscription. I think the big thing is getting used to how much to pat the brush dry, and then just getting the feel for letting the tips of said brush gently glide over the surface. I would say start with a super dry brush, where you almost think there isn't much paint on it at all, and then barely touching the model. It's a real "less is more" technique.
I used Elmer's wood filler to fill in the whole print, and it hides the lines well, then I used a Rustolium spay paint called filler primer, then I sanded it smooth. It works great.
Boy, my life has changed since I bought the airbrush gun and the compressor. I remember it take five hours to pick the critter ball Just in Black 25 to 30 minutes with the airbrush gun to get all that coverage
@@CrazyWillTechShow Yep, I’ve never seemed to have a problem with them, though in the beginning I was having trouble cause I’m TERRIBLE at painting. I just ordered the paint you used in the video, I’m pretty interested
Good job man, if you prime in white you will find the colours will pop more, also when doing the highlights try dry brushing, its much easier and the results are much better as you get a great transition through the shades that look more airbrushed than brushed.

I had a payed to have model made but am having a hard time understanding how it would go to print can you look at the file and let me know if there is something I should do or change the model looking for help .
My main issue when painting the figures is that they end up very sticky, did you have a similar problem?? Or was this avoided with the clear coat at the end?
Just got a 3D printer and was thinking of painting some of my smaller figures. The very simple way you showed how to do it should definitely make my stuff looks decent instead of just monotone gray, black, or white filament I use
If you put a clear coat over it a very long time. But if you don’t dust will build up and it will fused to the paint and when you go to clean it most likely rune you’re paint job. That just my opinion.
@@CrazyWillTechShow I am making human miniature and selling them I will keep it in a glass closed container Costumers asking how long paint lasts I don't have years of experience I own a 3d printer just 6 months
Two tips i can give about the finish; when you do a wash, its meant for accenting shadows and crevices, so go back over with your base colors again and hit the entire model (not just highlights). then you can go back with a lighter base color and highlight like he did. lastly, get some quality clear coat. rustoleum is AWESOME for priming but lacks with everything else. You can see the "Matte" clear coat ended up glossy. Not even satin. GLOSSY. two things can cause this, too thick and clear coast that isn't worth its weight. I recommend Tamiya TS-80 Flat clear; it is a small can but goes very far and you only need 1 coat for stuff like this that sits on shelves. Its a varnish and is meant to keep your colors safe. if youre using it for functional stuff or things touched often or in the sun, 2-3 coats wont hurt. and when you "mist" like this gentleman, actually MIST. don't mist, then mist, then spray, then mist, then spray. Coat goes on too thick. lol
I was a little skeptical at first, as I have no paint knowledge or experience. It damn dude, that turned out awesome! Thanks for all the tips and the great video tutorial.

Very nice video! Where did you get the file for the joker thats up on your shelf? I've been looking everywhere for a decent joker and I couldn't find one.
Suppose you printed your 3D model in separate pieces. Do you recommend priming the pieces separately or priming the model after it has been put together? Thanks
I like to dry fit them at first. Make sure everything fits correctly. Tape off the edges that are going to be glued. Put them on sticks or paint caps like I did in the video, And paint them individually. If the parts are easy to get to to paint or there one or color i’ll do them together.

Hello, im having a problem with my paint, i used the exact same products that you used and also did the same steps, but my paint is not sticking to my print, when i try to scratch it comes off really easily even after waiting for days, im really stuck i tried every thing i can, and nothing is working for me :(, please if anyone know something about this problem and can help me i will be very thankfull
Nice work, thanks for sharing. Have you ever tried using Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter as a basecoat under your primer (guess you can even apply acrylic paints right on top of it too)? I've heard that it does wonders to help everything stick really well to plastic. Also, have you ever used The Army Painter, Matt White primer? Just wondering.
No I was thinking about giving them a try but they’re very expensive. I don’t mind paying if they’re good but I’m one of those peoples that if it ain’t broken don’t fix it. 😂
Commenting before I watch the video , hoping to use this on a figure that I ordered , it’s fine , but it has some gaps , some chipping. I don’t own a 3D printer and it’s my first time ever dealing with something like this so I’ll edit this with some questions hoping to be answered or some tips , basically it’s a among us figure with a detachable body , I’m hoping to paint it , and do the things we’re you coat it with a clear layer and it protects the stuff , but before all of that I’m hoping I can use a nail filer to sand it down?? I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m kinda scared to mess with it cause i don’t know what I’m doing. Edit one: 2:20 Ok question , should I use a primer for my figure? It uses colored filament and I’m planning to paint shading and paint the visor as it’s blank. Also there’s the most gaps where the visor and the body connect but it’s secure for the most part , the ears are so rough and shedding I’m thinking of just sanding the texture completely cause it’s irritating Another question , is painting by hand with just any paint good? I don’t mean like dollar store , but I mean does the brand matter , is there a brush I should use? What kind of stuff should I be using to keep the paint from scraping off , kinda how I mentioned in the first question, I think it’s called varnish but I mean either the stuff you brush on or spray paint whatever , I don’t own any so either way I’d have to buy some so
How were you able to sand it since it’s so small and very intricate details. I’m working on painting my first print which is groot but I’m not sure how to sand it without ruining the intricate details as well
May have misunderstood you early in your video. I thought you said you used thinned/transparent acrylic paints over the Testors to accomplish some shading on Superman's face. For the record, enamels and other oil/solvent based paints, such as the Testors, can be applied over acrylics but acrylics should not be applied on enamels. It will flake off over time.
I have 2 types in this video th-cam.com/video/ky_zeUZeWdQ/w-d-xo.html and here the other th-cam.com/video/RojHw3N97v4/w-d-xo.html Can you watch the difference between the two here th-cam.com/video/TMX8ilsnS6g/w-d-xo.html
Yes but you have to imported in to a 3d software and do some Modeling. I suggest you take a look at blander or tinkercad. They are both free. Little bit of Learning curve. But well worth your time if you 3d print a lot.
@@CrazyWillTechShow I tried importing it on Fusion, Tinker & Blender but have no chance of converting it to Mesh as it is 500k+ triangles as said. Wherein I think the limit is 300k. Anyway, just got my Deadpool done printing rn. Maybe I'll just add some wood filler or something to hide the letters behind & sand it before adding some primer. 😂 Anyway, thank you for your response. Nice painting btw! ❣️

Can that surprise intro scare just never happen ever again?
No, you need to use lacquer paints.
You should paint first and second coats in separate Colours and use a spray booth, if you do it outside wind will make it smudge/drip.
My main issue when painting the figures is that they end up very sticky, did you have a similar problem?? Or was this avoided with the clear coat at the end?
Clearcoat will definitely close everything in. But sticky sounds like bad pain or you have to water down your paints
I’m hoping to paint some 3d figures for my partner and I can’t wait
does the paint scratch off of your models at all?
I will scratch off if you don’t put a clear coat on it.
Just got a 3D printer and was thinking of painting some of my smaller figures. The very simple way you showed how to do it should definitely make my stuff looks decent instead of just monotone gray, black, or white filament I use

Suppose you printed your 3D model in separate pieces. Do you recommend priming the pieces separately or priming the model after it has been put together? Thanks
I like to dry fit them at first. Make sure everything fits correctly. Tape off the edges that are going to be glued. Put them on sticks or paint caps like I did in the video, And paint them individually. If the parts are easy to get to to paint or there one or color i’ll do them together.

Crazy Will Tech Show Thank you very much, greatly appreciate it.
can u share me details of your primer spray and finishing spray
Rust oleum 2x primer and rust oleum 2x Clearcoat you can get it in gloss or Matt finish.
If you haven’t, you should check out edge highlighting
I have not I’ll look it up thank you!
Hello, im having a problem with my paint, i used the exact same products that you used and also did the same steps, but my paint is not sticking to my print, when i try to scratch it comes off really easily even after waiting for days, im really stuck i tried every thing i can, and nothing is working for me :(, please if anyone know something about this problem and can help me i will be very thankfull
The clearcoat will protect the paint and keep it on.
@@CrazyWillTechShow does that also happens to you if you didnt do the clear coat?, or is it just me
That's a great painting for not a pro painting , now I'm gonna start learning how to paint figures 👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
Hi what kind of resin is your go to and which printer do you use for your prints?
Elegoo Mars and elegoo resin.
And these are your all your awesome figures and statues right? Sorry just wanna be doubly sure
@@papoteekow685 I didn’t model them I printed them. You get them on myminifactory.com. There’s a lot of Great Resin 3-D printers out there.
Oh no yea I know I just don’t want to get my first 3-D printer and it turns out to be a poor one
Which one?
Sorry If I missed this, what exact paint brand do you use? Thank you for this video!
Nice work, thanks for sharing. Have you ever tried using Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter as a basecoat under your primer (guess you can even apply acrylic paints right on top of it too)? I've heard that it does wonders to help everything stick really well to plastic. Also, have you ever used The Army Painter, Matt White primer? Just wondering.
No I was thinking about giving them a try but they’re very expensive. I don’t mind paying if they’re good but I’m one of those peoples that if it ain’t broken don’t fix it. 😂
Commenting before I watch the video , hoping to use this on a figure that I ordered , it’s fine , but it has some gaps , some chipping. I don’t own a 3D printer and it’s my first time ever dealing with something like this so I’ll edit this with some questions hoping to be answered or some tips , basically it’s a among us figure with a detachable body , I’m hoping to paint it , and do the things we’re you coat it with a clear layer and it protects the stuff , but before all of that I’m hoping I can use a nail filer to sand it down?? I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m kinda scared to mess with it cause i don’t know what I’m doing.
Edit one: 2:20
Ok question , should I use a primer for my figure? It uses colored filament and I’m planning to paint shading and paint the visor as it’s blank. Also there’s the most gaps where the visor and the body connect but it’s secure for the most part , the ears are so rough and shedding I’m thinking of just sanding the texture completely cause it’s irritating
Another question , is painting by hand with just any paint good? I don’t mean like dollar store , but I mean does the brand matter , is there a brush I should use?
What kind of stuff should I be using to keep the paint from scraping off , kinda how I mentioned in the first question, I think it’s called varnish but I mean either the stuff you brush on or spray paint whatever , I don’t own any so either way I’d have to buy some so
I would practice on something else before going I had and painting your model. Is it resin or filament print?
Instead of model paint, can you use regular acrylic paints?
In the video I show you what regular acrylic paints look like. So that up to you.
Water it down first
Is this water base acrylic paint? Sorry very new too this
Yes they are water base paint....Dont be sorry your Learning. What makes them so good is its thinner finer paint.
What a great video, Will! Thank you so much!
Thanks man I need to hear that today😁
Do i need a respirator while priming it or no?
Yes! Now if you’re outside, it’s recommended you don’t have to but I do.
@@CrazyWillTechShow thank you i will be doing this outside
How were you able to sand it since it’s so small and very intricate details. I’m working on painting my first print which is groot but I’m not sure how to sand it without ruining the intricate details as well
I use PLA btw
I just did a video on the very topic th-cam.com/video/j0rV8wKVkec/w-d-xo.html
@@CrazyWillTechShow sweet I’ll check tht out thank you !
Does it matter what material & color the original print is?
No it shouldn’t.
what are you spraying it with at first?
I’m using a primer. I like rust oleum 2x primer.
May have misunderstood you early in your video. I thought you said you used thinned/transparent acrylic paints over the Testors to accomplish some shading on Superman's face. For the record, enamels and other oil/solvent based paints, such as the Testors, can be applied over acrylics but acrylics should not be applied on enamels. It will flake off over time.
Like I said in the video I’m no expert but did clear coat over it after I was done.
Hey will, can you add links to the tools you used to sand? Also if you have an affiliate link so that way we can help a brother out ;)
Just $1 store sandpaper. I don’t have affiliate links... thanks though.
What printer do you use?
I have 2 types in this video th-cam.com/video/ky_zeUZeWdQ/w-d-xo.html

Can you watch the difference between the two here th-cam.com/video/TMX8ilsnS6g/w-d-xo.html
@@CrazyWillTechShow Thanks alot!
It’s very addictive!
Nice video dude just bought my printer can't wait to get going.
I had it for a little over a year. Your going to love it.
@@CrazyWillTechShow I use their primer, I'm happy.
Can you link the primer that you used? Thanks!

how resistant is it with the clear coat? would running your nail on it scratch it?
I mean if your dig it in. Like any other material.
Can you do a tutorial of how to paint clear resin?
What do you mean? It’s the same process?
@@CrazyWillTechShow no i mean like i want the paint to be see through
Oh... sorry... look for anything with translucent Vallejo game paints or pre-transparent. I’ve never tried that before, that could be interesting 🤔
@@CrazyWillTechShow yes and i looked for hours for a way to paint a see through resin maybe make a video if you find a way to?
is the gray paint the "primer"?
Yes but I have switch to white the colors shows up better.
Why need primer.
Are not paint colors that can aplied straight to play?
You need to give the paint something to stick to prints, are very smooth and don’t hold the paint.
This is good!! The part of the floor of the base, they also paint it?
Can I get links to all the paints u used please
Just Vallejo pains you can find them on Amazon or any major art supply store.
Hi! Is there any way I can remove the writings at the back of the base? I was planning on changing it as "Deadpool".
Yes but you have to imported in to a 3d software and do some Modeling. I suggest you take a look at blander or tinkercad. They are both free. Little bit of Learning curve. But well worth your time if you 3d print a lot.
@@CrazyWillTechShow I tried importing it on Fusion, Tinker & Blender but have no chance of converting it to Mesh as it is 500k+ triangles as said. Wherein I think the limit is 300k. Anyway, just got my Deadpool done printing rn. Maybe I'll just add some wood filler or something to hide the letters behind & sand it before adding some primer. 😂 Anyway, thank you for your response. Nice painting btw! ❣️
No you peeked my curiosity I’m going to look at it tonight see if there a way around it. I’ll let you know. Bin playing around making my own models now.
Thanks by the way... I’m an ok painter working to get better. Very time consuming.
@@CrazyWillTechShow woah that's great. Been studying on making my own models too. It's too hard to find a great tutorials these past few days. Lmao thank you so much for giving me attention. Subbed! ❤️
What was that fun tech you used to hold the model in place?
Lol spray can cab and funtac.
@@CrazyWillTechShow what is funtac??
Awesome paint jobs !
Thanks man! Really appreciate that!
Those look really good 👍
Thanks 😊
Damn boy, I just started into this amazing 3D printing world and your video should be a MUST SEE!
Rich in details, easy to follow and understand. Simple and it could not get any better than this.
I have tried to find something similar but too complicated and expensive solutions.
Great job mate and +1 Subscriber :)
I really really appreciate it! I was in the same boat, couldn’t find a video. So after a lot of time and money I figured it out. I found it interesting so I thought others would too.
@@CrazyWillTechShow You are the man. Keep that up :)
Why is the primer color grey?
You could use white too?
Dear Mr Crazy
I was wandering:
Have You 3D printed those red glasses?
Sincerely
Always Yours
Potential Subsciber
I didn’t at first, but they’ve been getting harder to find so yes I did start printing them.
This is PLA or ABS ?
Resin printed on an elegoo mars. You can do this process with FDM printer just need to do more steps th-cam.com/video/j0rV8wKVkec/w-d-xo.html
