Sealing yellow plastic?

[Seann Anderson]

Has anyone found a solid way of sealing off yellow plastic so it doesn’t bleed through?

Thank you.

A good primer/sealer, silver, gold, house of kolor black or urethane clear

Thank you Chris.

Unless you're painting the model white or another VERY light color, don't worry about it.

That's what I thought until I painted over yellow. It bled right through a medium blue on the second coat of clear. Steve Milberry uses a product called BIN by Zinsser. It's a stain blocker and comes in a spray can.

I did this over yellow and found no issues to this day.

It was painted with Testors enamel spray.

Ever have any issues with lifting or surface crazing?

An specific paints you can't put on it?

Thanks.

I never had any issues with yellow plastic but I do believe Roger and others.

No idea as I've never used it. But, Steve swears by it. So, it must work.
