    Mr Surfacer 1500 Black rare as rocking horse s***

    Hi all,

    I’m keen to get my hands on some Mr Surfacer 1500 black to try as a primer but it appears that it is rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock.

    anyone got a black book of somewhere than might have it? Or a similar alternative? I think I was pointed in the direction of an MRP paint if there is any experience with it? I had briefly looked at an alclad primer also. Any decent lacquer based primers would be great.

    I do have some 1500 black. Love it, but I use 1000-1500 grey most. MRP primer is not worth it, £5 a bottle for 50ml and I can't control the thinner in it. 1500 coverage is nicer too. Try Premium Hobbies.

            It's been in short supply for a while, I've been struggling to get it since the start of the year.

            A big shipment finally hit the UK a month or so ago but many (including me) stocked up with numerous bottles, making it scarce again.

            Hopefully supply/demand levels will settle down to normal soon.

                Squirrelling it all away, Andy?! Sounds wise. I did manage to find some this evening so I won’t stay too mad at you.

                  That stuck container ship at the Suez should have arrived sometime ago...they just have to organise the inventory and distribution I think. :smiling2:

                    Richard makes a change from blaming the normal (now ) excuse. Fully agree with you though :smiling3:Hope your well .
