How To Restore a Rare Find Using Free Form® SCULPT

Step 5: Finishing

After an overnight cure, the Free Form® SCULPT is strong enough to be shaped with a grinding wheel if necessary. Once the piece is cured, it is strong and ready for primer. Masking tape is applied in areas to protect the piece from primer over spray. Once all areas are masked, a plastic primer is applied to Free Form® SCULPT. A thorough coat of primer will enable paint to stick to the Free Form® SCULPT. Once the primer is fully dried, the tape can be safely removed for painting.

The end user can determine how they want to paint the primered Free Form® SCULPT for this piece, a combination of airbrush and paint brush will give us the desired finished effects. A base coat of paint is applied to the wing, closely matching and blending to match the original paint.
