Which primer, if any ?

I think it was how I managed to turn Xtracrylix into custard on one occasion!

Humm multi purpose stuff Steve.

Hi everyone,
I'm just getting back into modelling after a gap of nearly sixty years (!) and am wondering about primers.


I've just ordered my first Iwata Eclipse HP-CS airbrush and the Iwata Power Jet PRO compressor and can't wait to try them out and practice, practice, practice.


My questions are twofold, as follows:-

1. For top coats in acrylic paint, that is, initially Humbrol for my first project but then thereafter Tamiya, what primer would you recommend, please? And

2. For re-chroming the odd piece in Alclad II, I assume a good primer would be their Alclad II Grey Primer and Filler. Would this perhaps also be a good primer to work with acrylic top coats?

I'd much appreciate your thoughts on this.


Regards,


Graham.

This stuff is excellent and cheap. I've given up on acrylic primer, great when it all goes well, infuriating when it doesn't! Since switching, I've had no mishaps.

Hi John,


Ah, this is great, 'cos it is deliverable to France, unlike most paint products.


Thanks a lot for the good tip. I'll give it a try.
