the putty does remove the primer sometimes
happens to me all the time but doesn't cause any actual issues once sanded

dark vs light
the barrel is where i wasted most of my time today
a lot of pinholes to cover and sand
prob cover up some more imperfections and on to white
hope to finish the upper body by the end of the month

Can’t wait to see your result
-
you should be good
if anything you can re sand a bit since most paint is paint and primer
which orientation did you print at
i gave up with the helmet for now until i get the rest of the suit done
-
i suggest you prime and sand until your happy with that you see
once your done with all your sanding and you prime a final time and if you do not notice anything wrong
do a wet sand of 2000 grit and then paint
the intended part where the mic tips go never fully closes
-
you can for an extra shine
just make sure you do not wait more than a hr after your last coast to apply the clear coat
i also started the nico bucket but have had trouble printing the chin

I wouldn’t use it
gloss white paint should be enough

its best to paint the bucket and spray the clear coat 30 mins after your last coat of paint
if you wait more than 24hrs it has a weird chemical effect

used a razor to try and bring out the details of the cover strips
will try DarthBiscuits idea of filling some of the pinholes with a paint brush and re sand
and give the notches a touch up

sanded off the jb weld and a good chunk of it fell off
used resin and fiber glass sheet to repair
will sand off tomorrow
-
What did you use to dry it with
I use a microfiber cloth
-
wet sanded the parts i had put bondo putty on
my lil helper accidently dropped one of the ammo boxes and a good chunk broke off
used some JB weld to fill and repair works pretty good for cracks as well
used it to repair the cracks i had on the chest and back
just a bit
it sands off with some elbow grease
you can see on the bottom middle section of the chest a crack that has been filled and repaired
-
The plasti dip will come off if you try to sand it
I don’t recommend sanding
you should be able to peel the whole thing off easily and paint again if you need to

got to paint some parts
the clear coat kinda messed it up a bit leaving some drop marks nothing too noticeable
not perfect but i am not going to beat myself up about it too much

wet sanded all the imperfections of round 2
prime again and find some more imperfections
got fill in a lot of scratches and minor pinholes
-
use some fiberglass sheet to make the thighs stronger where there where soft spots
i would be able to push though it with my fingers after this no more
-
Awesome!
i seen 3D files for a R1 armor out there but I can’t justify spending 150 on them right now since I already have a R1 kit
-
Ived noticed from what Ived seen that nobody gets the white to match the same color of the abs
-
with a 850aw kit your going to have to paint it all if you want the color to match the greeblies so either way your going to paint

i cut a lot of the top of my barrel due to it hitting my chest too much and preventing me from leaning forward or bending down
