    I use Humbrol No1 grey primer on all large surfaces Oggy. But I think its important not to rush in with masking until the first coats of paint have dried (cured) properly. I use enamel paints and I leave mine about two to three days for the paint to harden properly before I apply masking. I know others may disagree and think this is too long to wait but to date ,touch wood, this method has never failed me.

    As regards the Samaitans Oggy, I tried to ring them the other day and they were engaged. Just my luck.:smile1:

      I think priming when using acrylic paint is quite important. If I'm using enamel, I don't always prime.

        I use vallijo grey primer straight out of the bottle never had a problem, but i always prime and give the kit a good soak in warm fairy liquid washing up water to remove the silicon release agents.

        Hope this helps buddy.
