Excellent vid, I'm new to modelling and absolutely screwed my first model as I didn't use a primer, this helped heaps!!!

For those of you here in the UK, if you do a lot of modelling, then I suggest you go to Halfords and get their grey primer (used for cars). It comes in large 500ml spray cans, unlike the piddly little 150ml cans that Humbrol give and the Halfords 500ml cans are far cheaper and the the quality seems better too in my opinion. You just need to give it a light sanding after spraying with wet and dry sand paper. I've used Halfords grey primer for years and never had a problem on my plastic models. Acrylics work well over it. Halfords also have a primer for plastics but that's used for bumpers which are ABS so I would avoid that one. Just use the normal one, primer comes in grey, white and red.

Terrible advice, don't use automotive paints for anything unless you have a respirator AND a spray booth. They are cheaper, yes, but what you save in money you pay with your health, since these kind of paints contain isocyanates.

You actually can sand this primer! Just got to be sure that you sand with water using wet/dry sand paper. I never have trouble with ridging. Best primer I have ever ever used. Love you guys, keep up the brilliant work.

Hi, Is it possible to use enamel paints over an acrylic primer? Excellent helpful videos, hope to see more thank you.
@statoilbensin21902 жыл бұрын
Im pretty sure that this is an acrylic lacquer based spray and not a typical waterbased one. You should be quite safe using enamels over it if I am right. Try read on the can if it contains stuff like n-Butylacetate,etyl acetate, Xylene, Toluene or 1 metoxy-2-propanol.

I don't know what it is but for me 29 Matt Dark Earth goes on the best and the smoothest compared to the matt grey/white/black! The black seems to attack the plastic whereas the brown leaves a lovely finish. All my models have a base layer of brown before any spray painting is done. I've noticed if you spray the satin colours it madly attacks the plastic and ruins the finish.

It's an acrylic primer... does it adhere well to the plastic? I first used the bottled testors acryl primer with acrylic paints. The primer was a nice "primer" in all respects save that it didn't adhere very well to the plastic. The base coat stuck to the primer well but the primer could be pulled away from the model with masking tape (taking the base coat with it). I used some Tamiya laquer primer on my last acrylic paint model and didn't have adhesion problems.

If I had an aircraft with a basic two-tone camouflage, could I use two primers? I ask as I'm in the process of making an F4F-4 Wildcat. It has a very dark grey for the top of the aircraft, and a white for the underside. I sprayed the entire aircraft in grey primer, but am now having issues getting the white to look good. It's ended up looking very patchy and still has a grey tone showing through it even after 3-4 coats of white acryllic.

If anyone wonders if this spray is a water based acrylic its not. I checked the ingredients it contains acetone and hydrocarbons so I belive it might be pretty much the same stuff as the Citadel sprays witch also contains acetone and hydrocarbons. This means that this Humbrol spray is safe to use enamels on top of. Also it will dry fast witch is good. Solvent based primers are always the best primers!

I'm painting in the living room. The smell is delicious haha however I do make sure the backdoor and windows are all open and I relocate my dog upstairs to one of the bedrooms where I have that window also open and the door closed enough so she can still get out. I find with model building the actual painting part isn't a constant never ending chore. More you have much work preparing your pieces for a short painting session followed by drying and more preparation with a touch of cleaning equipment in the interlude between painting some more. The smell usually goes by the time you've cleaned all your workspace. I'm set up on my pretty new desk which I've taped the model box and some other cardboard boxes and plastic sheet to the surface of to protect from the solvents and paints. The only thing you need to be mindful of is the particles being blasted in to the air, especially around your face, mouth, nose eyes. The heavier your finger presses that aerosol can, the more puff your goin to get. Not good if your spraying near your old ladies best vases.
