3D Print Finishing · Worldwide Shipping

3D print finishing and fine-scale painting.

I clean, assemble, paint, and finish resin prints for collectors worldwide. Share the model, size, and desired finish so I can assess the work and plan delivery to your country.

What finishing means

Make the process
disappear.

01

Surface Prep

Support marks, seams, layer lines, chips, gaps, and rough transitions are cleaned, filled, sanded, and checked under primer.

02

Paint and Detail

Airbrush gradients, brush detail, skin, cloth, metal, weathering, eyes, and material contrast give the geometry a readable surface.

03

Protection

Matte, satin, or gloss protection is chosen around the piece, not applied as one blanket finish. Different materials should read differently.

The process

Every flaw shows
after the first primer.

Inspect

Send photos of the full print and close shots of seams, supports, damage, and fragile areas. I need the material, dimensions, part count, and intended finish.

Stabilize

Parts are cleaned, test-fitted, pinned, joined, or repaired where appropriate. A beautiful finish cannot rescue a weak structure.

Refine

Filling and sanding continue through primer checks until the unwanted print texture stops controlling the light.

Paint

Color is built from broad atmosphere to small detail. Airbrush and hand painting work together rather than competing for the surface.

Seal

The finish cures, receives the correct protective coat, and is checked under neutral light before pickup or packing.

Good fit

What to send.
What to expect.

This service is for prints meant to be seen: figurines, statues, maquettes, display objects, art pieces, prototypes, and presentation models. It is not an industrial production coating line.

If your file still needs redesign, supports, scaling, or print strategy, say that at the start. If the print already exists, do not ship it before I have reviewed photos and confirmed the work.

Common questions

Finishing answers.

What does 3D print finishing include?

Support cleanup, seam filling, sanding, primer checks, part assembly and stabilization, airbrush plus hand painting, weathering and material effects, then the correct matte, satin or gloss protective coat for display pieces.

What should I send for assessment?

Photos of the full print plus closeups of seams, supports, damage and fragile areas, with material, dimensions, part count, target finish, deadline, and whether the print already exists. Do not ship before the work is confirmed.

What kinds of prints are a good fit?

Resin and FDM display prints meant to be seen: figurines, statues, maquettes, display objects, art pieces, prototypes and presentation models. This is not an industrial production coating line.

The print is where it starts.

High resolution helps, but resolution is not finish. The hours after printing decide whether the final object still looks manufactured or finally feels made.
