Step 2Sand & basecoat
2. Unscrew all the pieces. Separate the filigree decoration from the scabbard and the hilt from the blade.
3. Sand everything. Start with a coarse grit sand paper and get as much of the finish off as you can. Don't worry about streaks in your plastic as the paint will fill in the scratches. If you skip this step, you risk the paint not sticking to your plastic.
4. Once your sanding is complete, use your terry cloth towel or a dampened paper towel and clean the dust off of your pieces.
5. Move them to a well ventilated area and spray (or brush paint) everything black. Give the pieces at least two coats to ensure both proper coverage and adequate depth of paint for additional sanding.
