hey everybody i have a vt commodore metal model race car that i have modded and i now have primed it but the primer is bubbling in little spots and like not sticking to the metal,

i used kill rust metal primer i dunno if that has anything to do with it, i also sanded it back till there was no shine on the original paint job, if thats any use?

any tips would be sick.

cheers!

Hey Mate :P

Yeah, that did it.

It bubbles, that's how it neutralizes the rust.

The only problem is that steel rusts, and your die-cast is made of zinc, and doesn't rust - OOPS :lol: .

Get all that off there and :rolleyes: get some lacquer-based primer down, and you'll be a much happier model builder :rolleyes: .

Go to an automotive store and get some etching primer. Spray that down and then spray the normal auto primer over the top. Then put down the color.
