  Frankly, a few dozen passes with 120-220 grit, followed by an acetone wipe down and a couple light coats of gloss varnish (spray) varnish before waiting 24hrs+ (ie. gas off) to box it up… is the smart play here. 🫶🏼🤓

    I try and avoid sanding plastic as much as possible even if it’s PLA

      I’ve never tried it but this method looks interesting. I wonder if it would work with clear coat instead of paint.
