Painting 3D Printed Minis

By GoldenDemonWinner • Jan 01, 2025

The Basics of Mini Painting



1. Priming: Always prime your resin or PLA prints. Use a rattle can primer (Grey or Black is best).
2. Base Coating: Apply thin layers of your base colors. Two thin coats are better than one thick coat.
3. Washing: Use a dark wash (like Nuln Oil) to settle into the recesses and create shadows.
4. Dry Brushing: Use a lighter color on a dry brush to catch the raised edges and create highlights.
