I have purchased and built many a 3D rocket from Boyce Aerospace, STL printed files, etc. I'm a fan, but still,I struggle to get the finish that I'd love to have. Sometimes it works out, but often it falls short of the mark.
Best results seem to be a mixture of sandable primer, followed by dry and wet sanding. Usually start with 125-150 grit and work my way towards a finish sand at 600 grit--followed by paint.
But I could be doing it all wrong. I'd love to hear how others go about finishing their 3D rockets.
