ash74 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hello all I am hoping for some guidance? I want to know if there is a more suitable color to undercoat for Orange? I am having trouble even coating the orange color. I am also wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make the red taillights stand out against the orange? I have a had trial run & the taillights definitely blended in to the orange. Thank you Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctmodeler Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Use a little silver or BMF under the taillights . A white shade primer probably would make the orange look good under it I'm thinking .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Tamiya's grey primer is light-in-shade , and would be a good primer for most shades of oranges . What year Camaro are you building ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Just for fun, I used Tamiya pink primer on my 69 Chevelle's engine, then 1:1 engine paint. I really like the way it turned out. I would probably use the pink again if I was going to paint a body orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash74 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Hello All Thanks for the reply, It is a 1970 Camaro. I will look at both the primers. It will just depend on what I can get. Could you please let me know what Tamiya Pink it is? I am not finding any primers in that range. Thank you Ash Edited August 31, 2020 by ash74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Tamiya makes a pink primer, along with white and grey. It is primarily designed to go under red, but I was pleased with how it worked under orange on the Chevy engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Tamiya also offers a white primer that should work well under your Orange color coat. The next question is what Orange are you going for ? Some suggestions if you haven't already picked out a color. Model Master offers a GM Hugger Orange as well as a Ford Grabber Orange and a Dodge Go Mango Orange. Tamiya offers a TS-12 Orange. These are all slightly different shades of Orange but gives you an idea of some options if what ever color you're using now isn't giving you what you're looking for.

ash74 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hello I grabbed a tin of Model Master Go Mango. Does anyone know if the Tamiya primer's will work underneath Enamel paints? I couldn't find a lot of info, more just saying my local stores do not have a supply. Thanks Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
