Hey I have question about to all the builders here.

i need to paint the black patch’s on the Inmoov legs but I have had issue with the spray paint bleeding underneath the masking tape in the texture on the 3D printed parts.

My question is how can I stop this from happening?

the only way is to spray multiple layers primer before the color . then tape it .

Oh happy I don’t want to have to paint the complete leg just the black patch areas on the top of the legs.

Thought I would try a first layer of clear to seal around the edges of the tape and hit with black after that.

the problem is when printing you see all lines ontop each other . when painting the paint will follow these lines and dont stop . or sand it real smooth then try . any pictures ?

Have you tried "Rust-Oleum Ultra Cover Spray can's?  Also try painter's blue tape.  That's what I used, but I spray a light cost first then spray it again.

That is actually exactly what I used and had issues with. But I need to move forward and see what happens

For my legs I used brush on acrylic paint that is commonly available at hobby/craft stores. Multiple coats smooth out really well the brush marks disappear. If you screw up you can remove it with Windex. A spray on clear coat is applied after to control the glossyness and for long term protection.

Yep that looks good I think I am going to go that way much better chance of not screwing it up...  Thanks
