Optimus Prime Pen on the moon base... Part17-2

17-2 Start painting the moon

Primer process for this one is not just convenient. If we spray all over, primer will be inside the moon and may damage electrical circuit. So I cover them by tape.

 clean it by distilled vinegar

   Primer plastic type #1,000 

   warm it for a minute

spray primer 1-2 times

apply to battery cover too.

And also spray at bottom side.

finished primer process.

Take all tape out, try not to touch work piece so much (it needs to be clean for painting)

brush the primer onto the covered area remaining.

 Now, it gets ready for paint. I selected acrylic type for texture making
and for matt looks I need.

After paint 3 times

making texture

Start to paint the whole piece

And you can also make texture all the way around.

finished 1st color.

next part (part17-3) will be about shading, shadow effect.

Thanks for watching

Bye...^o^
