Hi Folks!
Haven’t posted in a while I think. I used to build model cars as a kid. I’ve built two as adult and used testors sprays and brush-on paints and the paint took to the plastic just fine. I managed to grab up a model of the Tijuana Taxi. Sprayed the body- no problem. But when I tried to brush some paint onto a smaller part, it wouldn’t take. What might I be doing wrong? I shook the paint thoroughly to mix it up. As mentioned It’s testors oil based paint. Could it be that the paint is old? (The ratio of pigment to oil seems right). Finally, is it typical to prime the part first?
I’ll look over the tricks and tips (and FAQ’s) on this site to see what I’m missing but any help in the mean time would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
