Rob Hosking Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wondering if anyone may have a magic trick to cure the red/yellow bleed through on color molded bodys and parts? Like especially around panel lines, brutal. I was contemplating using the tamiya brush on primer on the panel lines, wet sanding, then applying tamiya white primer in the spray can?

Ramfins59 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I would suggest using a good primer/sealer on the bodies before repainting them. I've had good luck with Duplicolor primer/sealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hosking Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Ok, thanks. I have not really painted plastic with anything other than Tamiya primer first, the primer sealer can go right on or should i prep the body with something first?

roadhawg Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Paint it flat black first, then go from there with primer/paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I just finished a car molded in a green plastic. I sprayed the body silver, then primer, then color coats and clear. Works good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Silver is the trick I used on a Jo-Han Ambulance molded in red to get White on the Roof and Not Pink!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustbucket82 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 you can always seal the body with future floor polish before you prime it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 A coat of spray can "self etching" primer (in that muddy green color) followed by regular primer seems to work best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Smith Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 If you know how to use an airbrush I would use anautomotive primer. I use all DuPont paints I have never had a problemwith it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
