I think you get a better color that way myself.
So it sounds to me like you do whatever your preference is. There are some things I prefer to have the actual item molded in the color (specifically flesh tones and moving parts, such as knees and elbows, hinged sections of vehicles, and tires, which should always be molded black), while other things could be done in a neutral color and painted (non moving parts to vehicles). Anyway, thank you both for the feedback giving your experiences with 3D printed items. It really gives me something to think about...
