lordairgtar Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Figure painters would love them if they'd come out with a black primer. Been telling them for years they need to do one... Smoothest primer on the market and they're blowing a nice little chunk not offering a black primer. And now pink, I guess for those guys who have to paint their scale Ferraris the exact same way the 1:1 Ferraris are painted. I remember years ago Modeler's doing a McLaren Red set that included a pink primer. Floquil has a very nice black primer as well as white. Very comparable to Tamiya. Floquil is popular with the model RR crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See with the pink primer my scale Ferrari will have the right scale effect, meaning the right shade of freaking red. Floquil has a very nice black primer as well as white. Very comparable to Tamiya. Floquil is popular with the model RR crowd. Vallejo also has a black and white primer too. Very popular with figure painters and military modelers, and it is acrylic.

Isnt that the point of pink primer, to give the right shade of red?, but I guess since its a subject of something that is past the 70's , it doesn't deserve to have the right shade on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgflatliner Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 again, doesn't yellow base coat/primer usually promote a brighter red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGirl Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Fred what is that color , I totally love that and have the perfect car for that color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Fred what is that color , I totally love that and have the perfect car for that color You're gonna hate me - I can't remember the name. It was a holts or duplicolour rattlecan but not a colour matched car touch up. It was part of a range aimed at people just painting stuff rather than touching up their cars. I might still have the can in my shed. I'll look when i'm down there tomorrow (it's bedtime now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 And whats wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. Simply stating that for anyone who doesn't understand the point of a pink primer. It's the way the real cars are painted, so paint the models the same way. Read the lines, not between them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Pretty sure Modeler's offered pink primer back in the late '80s or early '90s. Their paint was great but was really, really expensive in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgflatliner Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 ok so here's what i'd be interested in seeing: a photo comparison with different primers and the same red. i know somebody had done something similar with a bunch of white spoons and they used different primers and same paints and showed results and it was pretty amazing at how much of a difference there was between the end results. primers i'd like to see used: white, gray, black, pink, yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Barrow Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 i understand that, especially since the first part was critical of them for not doing a black primer (which IMHO would sell like hotcakes and make all the fantasy figure painters need a clean pair of shorts, but that's beside the point...)

I am going to agree with you, a black primer is a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH good idea, or Tamiya doing a black primer is a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 A few years ago I built the submarine from the movie Operation Petticoat and I had to paint it pink and then spray it with Matte, if I'd only waited I could have used Pink Primer which in the movie they did using 50% red oxide & 50% white primer.
