Finishing 3D printed parts

I just got two cab conversions that are 3D printed.  I assume they are resin prints as the nubs of the printing supports filed easily compared to my experiences with filament printing, they are somewhat more flexible and one of the cabs had a substance inside sticky like jelly that I assume was not completely cured resin.  I hope that will eventually fully dry.

How do I clean these up?  while much better than some other parts there are still "print marks" that I assume will show when painted.

How water resistant is this, as in washing.  I tried to wet sand a filament print one time and not only did the sanding not work, it took a week to dry out.

I don't won't to loose the detail which is good.  Scrub with an Ajax powder mix like lapping compound?  Sandpaper (what grit) wet or dry?, Scotchbright?  Maybe the marks won't show through a primer coat.

Looking at the upper right of the low nose, there appears to be a printing error.  Fill with epoxy?

These are supposed to be direct replacements for an Atlas GP9.  Everything looks good except there are no mounting posts in the low nose.  I can use plastic tubing for that.  assume epoxy will bond well?



Thanks
