Hi guys,
really looking for some advice, as this is my first project and looking to do it right.
I have bought a polyurethane resin Batman cowl cast, and as it being a raw casting obviously needs some filling, sanding, priming and spraying.
Heres the cowl below.
Now, when it comes to filling, am I right to presume that a good car body filler would be good to fill in the dents and uneven surfaces? If anyone is in the UK and can recommend a brand, that would be fantastic!
Now after the filling, I would have to sand it down, starting with quite a corse grit working my way down to a finer grit to get it super smooth.
After that, I should prime the cowl, covering it in a few even coats of prime (grey?) and then again sand this down with a fine grit paper to get a smooth finish.
To finish I would spray with an even coat of matt black, and would I still need to sand the final layer? or would a pasti-dip spray be better?
Any advice would be amazing, as I want to get this perfect and hopefully it will be the start of many many projects.
Thanks everybody!
