Make 3D Print Look Like Distressed Painted Metal

When I was working on Your Pet Eye, I used a technique for making some 3D printed parts look like metal parts with beat up, chipped paint on them. People seemed interested in that, and I thought maybe it would be useful to share how I did it. For this you will need the following: 3D printed part Spray primer Hammered black spray paint Hammered silver spray paint Spray paint for a top coat (color of your choosing) Vaseline (petroleum jelly) 500-grit wet-dry sandpaper Optional: black acrylic paint or black shoe polish Music, in order of appearance: Behold! The Living Corpse - Cave of the Blind Ones The Insider - Vibration Pity da Fool - Heavy Metal Vomit Party
