Question on preparation prior to spray painting. Do I sand the pieces completely smooth first? As in start sanding with a low grit paper then work to 2000 grit before painting? Or do I sand with low grit, prime it, sand, paint, sand, etc? Complete noob when it comes to this.

So a few updates since last. I've done a bit of work on the blasters but I'm waiting on some smooth on xtc-3d so I can coat the blasters and smooth out the glue lines. Then I'll sand and repaint both of them ready to detail. My armour from Jim Tripon turned up today as well. Where on Earth do I start now? Sanding?

I ended up actually going 10mm as that was all I could find at the local hardware store. Needed to drill the holes in the back of the blaster out, but the buttstock holes were already fine. Thanks for the info all.

Can anyone tell me what the diameter and length of the metal rods out to the collapsible stock on the E-11D is please? Preferably in metric

WOW love that photo, that photographer is awesome! He must be soooo talented Just kidding, glad to know it was you. I'm awaiting my DT armour from Jimmi at the moment. Would love to be able to hit you up for any tips and advice.

Good question and one I am interested in knowing the answer to as well. I did find one seller on Etsy but curious if there are others. https://www.etsy.com/shop/plasticarmsdealer

Looks amazing! I'm waiting on my armour from Jimmi and the softkit from Imperial Boots. Any tips on where to find the buckles?

Blasters received though missing the folding stock and one other part on the E-11D. He's doing those for me soon.
