Let the parts dry for at least 3-5 days, and now you are ready to assembly and wear them! Now you can apply 2 to 4 coats of the red paint depending on the intense of color that you want. Wait another 24 hours and cover with newspaper and masking tape areas that should be chrome or gold. There's no problem if you paint accidentally some area that should be red. After 24 hours you can continue with the gold coat, paint all the gold details and parts. The chrome is the base color in order that you'll have a metallic finish. Apply 2 coats letting dry at least 30 mins between coats. Paint all the parts with chrome paint, you'll be impressed of how good it looks. Now you can start with the fun stage, where all your work will get shiny and awesome. Sand it trying to do not remove the primer at all (if you remove some primer at the edges it's ok). Wet the part with the sponge and sand the parts using the 1000 or 2000 grit Water Sandpaper. Apply sandable primer to all the parts (2 layers) Let it dry at least 30-60 mins. Materials: Primer (sandable) 1000 or 2000 grit Water Sandpaper Water bucket Chrome paint Gold paint Red paint Clear paint Masking Tape newspaper Sponge Rag Gloves Respirator Protective Eye Glasses Put your gloves, protective eye glasses and respirator. Is easier repair big or deep imperfections with body filler rather than Spot potty because of the drying time. TIP: if you notice a deep void after applying and sanding the Spot Putty, fill it up with body filler, sand it, and apply again Spot putty and sand it. Use the dremel tool for line details, or any other kind of detail you need or want. After some minutes with the Spot Putty dried, sand it using the 600 grit Sandpaper, Clean up with the wet rag again. Using the squeegee apply one very thin layer of Spot Putty to all the surface, as thin the layer is, the fastest it will dry. Now you should have an almost perfect shape of the part. Third body filler layer: Watch for voids and imperfections, apply body filler to it. After the surface is smooth, use the 150 grit Sandpaper and sand it again and you'll notice a smoothest surface. Sand it with the 40 grid Sandpaper and the Rubber Sanding Block. Second body filler layer: Apply body filler giving the necessary rounded shape of the part, and let it dry. Using 40 grid Sandpaper and the Rubber Sanding Block, sand it just to remove the sharp points and edges. First body filler layer: Using the squeegee, apply body filler all over the part to give some body trying to let a smooth finish, let it dry some minutes (time depends on the amount of catalyst) until it is perfectly solid.

Mix very well a small portion of the body filler and hardener until you have a one color mix. TIP: Let dry the parts under the sunlight, the heat accelerates the drying process. After the part is solid to the touch, trim the excess of fiber glass mat using the dremel tool. Resin the outside of the part very well and letting it dry 24 hours. This is really important on the big parts, like the chest, back, legs, helmet etc, because 1 layer stills flexible and weak. After applying the first layer let dry about 15 mins, and continue with the second layer. Repeat this until you have all the part cover it. Start applying one strip of Fiberglass Mat, and resin over it in the inner side of the part. Once the catalyst is added, you will only have 15 minutes to work with it aprox. As long as you work with this you will know how many drops you'll need). Mix a small portion of the resin (I used 1/4 of a cup) with the catalyst (10 to 20 drops, depending on the weather, if it's hot, with 10 drops it's ok. Put your gloves, protective eye glasses and respirator. Cut the Fiber Glass mat in small or big strips depending on the part size. This will help us to avoid the resin stick to the table.
