First non distressed paint job

[Holeinthehead2]

Well, arrived at the point of paint. Any advise appreciated. I bought a Vallejo surface primer. To start. 
done one car “normal” and one distressed.

That interior is awesome.

Preparation is or friend! Dust free environment and ventilation is key. Take your time and try a test piece first.

I agree with Chuckyg1 on your interior. What did you use for the material inserts on the seats?

You mentioned Vallejo primer, what will the color coat and top coat paints be ? As to the primer though, not my first choice but since you have it, lightly scuff with micro mesh or similar. Wash the body or wipe down at least, with mineral spirits or similar to get finger prints and other oils off the surface.  Blow the body off with just air from your airbrush and apply a coat or two of the primer. Set it aside someplace and dry for 24 hours before proceeding further. Or if you have a dehydrator or paint dryer use that for an hour or two.

Note the primer will feel dry to the touch sooner than 24 hours but Vallejo's standard is 24 hours dry time. It may feel dry sooner but hasn't cured through all the way yet. Also fwiw Vallejo paints take well to heat setting.
