Had this thing printed months ago, but I procrastinated and finally got it put together. Just needs paint now.

Sand before priming. And make sure you use filler primer! Will help a LOT. You will probably go through 3-4 cycles of sanding, filler, sanding, bondo, sanding then paint lol.

I didn't even know that was a thing, looks like I'm returning the primer I got. Thanks.

You bet! My crown here, is 3d printed. I did about 3 cycles of filler and sanding because I got impatient and rushed and you can still see the print lines. Still looks good overall tho.
