Have you seen this?

[BarryW]

We all know the problems about many acrylic primers, it seems that Phil Flory has found one that can be sanded half an hour after spraying and has decent adhesion when cured (without needing 48 hours or more to cure...)


Here is his review

Here is where you can buy it

John - could you see if you can stock it for future reference?


seems to be a bit expensive but looks worth it. I have ordered a pack of three 120 mils..... bye-bye Vallejo Primer... My Me262 will be the last model using you and so far, due to the curing time needed surface prep has taken well over a week. Not any more.

I will be interested to hear how you get on with it.

[BarryW]

I will let you know.


The video is a bit long but well worth persevering with.

Will have a look when WiFi is on cheers.


tbh after using zero primers on car bodies I may stick to lacquer style primers for everything, depends how I get on with the last of my Vallejo primer.

[Guest]

Thanks Barry. Looked through the whole video. Long but worth every second.


First I would say that I have not had the roll up on Vallejo as Flory. I have always had good finishes.


But it does take 24 to 48 hours before you are able to wet and dry.


Vallejo also is very kind and does allow many over zealous ways of applying the primer. So I think that Phil Flory is not being as "kind" as he has indicated.


But if as he has shown then this is something special.


The main advantage, apart from drying time, is that if a getaway imperfection shows itself this stuff can be sanded wet and dry or dry. With Vallejo using Mr Surfacer after priming with Vellejo primer as a surface is not on. That means having to resort to other fillers. In my experience there is nothing to touch Mr Surfacer as it acts and finishes like the original plastic .


If the Stynylrez primer can take Mr Surfacer and the like then this must be the biggest break through in priming. If so good bye Vallejo (sorry).


Thanks again Barry. Plus Phil Flory is just the magician in video tutorials. Not seen better.

In the post. Pack of 3 colours. About 50% of options ie size colour are now out of stock.

Like the look of this stuff and as it happens need some more primer. Looking at the pack of 3 colours.


Quick question before I buy some though. I take it the white primer is used for lighter shades of top coat like white and grey for everything else, but when would I need black primer?

Let us know how you get on lads, I will probably stick with Vallejo for larger areas for now but this product would be good for quick painting and assembly of guns, gears and canopies etc

Say a Lancaster Colin. also on the latest little Quad bikes there are a lot of black pieces. I airbrushed all these with black primer to be eventually a very dark grey top coat.

I thought the grey would be enough for a black top coat, especially the likes of Vallejo grey primer as I find that quite dark.


Anyone know what shade the of grey the Stynylrez primer is?

[BarryW]

Colin. If you pre-shade then one way of doing it is to use the black primer as the main primer coat and to then spray the centre of panels with the grey primer. I find that easier than the more traditional grey with panel lines being sprayed black. It works well and have done it on many models to good effect.

[Guest]

Well mine has just shipped Barry. Look forward to this as it does seem from Old Phil Flory that this is good stuff.


Finishing Quad Bikes this weekend "the stuff" will arrive just in time for my Apache Longbow.

I use Alclad primers these days and am very impressed with then.This stuff looks really good.
