Pink Primer?

[Jim B]

Does anyone make pink primer?  I think Tamiya used to, but I'm not sure if they do anymore.

I purchased Taymiya's pink primer earlier this year. I believe thru Tamiya Pink Primer

Thanks. Scalehobbiest didn't list it, and it looks like Hobbylinc has it on backorder. Hopefully it'll turn up somewhere.

Thanks.  Unfortunately, I do not have an airbrush, so I have to use rattle cans.

I bought a can from HobbyTown a couple weeks ago. I think it was around $12.

I'll have to check our local Hobby Town, but their selection has been pretty dismal recently & there are rumors of them closing this Fall or by the end of the year.

So, for those of you who are curious, I contacted Tamiya America about their pink primer, and here is the response I received this morning:

"This item is currently undergoing re-labelling to comply with the Consumer Product Safety Commission.  Unfortunately, I have no ETA when the process will be completed, and this item will be available once more.

Thank you,

Well, there you have it.  Get it while you can!

Hopefully this 're-labelling' will result in Tamiya primers and sprays returning to Canadian hobby shelves.

It's possible, otherwise there'll be a "black market" for Tamiya paint with people coming to the US to get it.
