Am I able to spray paint the 3D Printed parts?

I ran out of Blue plastic stuff, so i needed to use white plastic stuff, and it just doesn't look good. Am I able to spray paint it?

Yes, you should be able to spray paint your 3D printed parts. Krylon makes a nice set of spray paints for plastics that I've been using with good results to paint my 3D parts.

you can get away with any spray paint, i used auto spray paint and it came out just fine....

i would recommend to get filler primer (again it can be auto spray)
i didnt use it, but its whats recommended by most of the people on youtube that have tuturials on spraying 3d printed parts.....


NB: take your time, and dont rush any stage of the process (any imperfections show up, theres no place to hide)
