It does not absorb paint, so the technique that works is patience: thin coats built up in layers, letting each dry before the next. A few things we would tell any customer starting out:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight prints take colour best.\u003c\/strong\u003e Paint over white, grey or natural filament and the colours stay true. Painting over dark filament needs a white base coat first\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte surfaces grip better than glossy.\u003c\/strong\u003e Prints in matte PLA give the paint more to hold onto than silk or glossy finishes.

Flat single-surface models are actually harder to paint evenly, so save those for once you have the feel of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeed something to paint?
