[Robot Painting 1] Groundwork

Painting a robot is not as easy as it sounds. It is a hard work that needs delicate craftsmanship.


The picture above shows the things I bought for the job. I had to buy more goods afterwards. From the upper left, it shows a top coat paint, aluminium plates, a metal coat paint, enamel paints, brushes, a marker pen, a masking tape, and a decal.


The work begins with disassembling the robots into parts.


Then, paint the metal coat(metal primer) on the aluminium surface.


After the metal coat drys up, paint the base white(lower left above) on the surface.


Then, plaster epoxy putty in order to close cracks on the surface(in linking parts, etc).


Before painting a color enamel, cover all the parts which other colors should be applied to with masking tape, etc. Then, the groundwork for painting finishes.
