Hey guys, I just received my Form1 last week and here is my first decent sized print out of it. It is a model i made sculpted a while back and now finally have printed. I attached some images of the finished print as well as a few other shots of the print before painting. ![](https://support.formlabs.com/attachments/token/IVOWFB9lRIySWVrR2xcNXeXkw/?name=926760_782965735055580_1053013040_n.jpg) ![](https://support.formlabs.com/attachments/token/CwYSVlS0CKc3meeSE5pNbQJkS/?name=926170_254348281415618_709485993_n.jpg) ![](https://support.formlabs.com/attachments/token/8TVyhc3HBb3RQqY9cU2a6zTwT/?name=925464_267353040104490_847157790_n.jpg) ---

Looks great! What paint did you use to finish it? ---

Hi Ann, I used a product called Rub n Buff. I laid down a coat of black first then went over the high points with spanish copper and a gold colour. ---

Wow, awesome job! Did you sculpt it in Zbrush? Also I looked up the Rub n buff paint. I usually use acrylic paints myself but I noticed that in the description it says you just rub it on with your fingers? So is that how you applied it to your print or did you use a brush? The stand, did you get that at an Arts and Crafts store? I was actually in the process of looking to get some of those myself but I also want to get ones that have a plastic or glass dome covering to protect the delicate print along with keeping dust off it. - Rich ---

Hey Richard, Yeah i sculpted it in zbrush. And I use a brush to apply the rub n buff, as washing it off your hands is a bit of a nightmare. The stands i got online, definitely make the final thing look more professional. Cheers Matt ---

The finish looks great! Thanks for sharing the rub and buff tip. It looks like there are at least 10 different colors on Amazon, so time to experiment
