primer for model master?

[geckoman1220]

I use a lot of model master lacquers because is easily available and i wont touch enamels. they dont do good in my climate.

i like the model master lacquers but was wondering about a good primer for it. I tried the model master lacquer primer but its rubbish. it never adheres so i can easily scratch it off even after months of drying and it messes up the color coat by making it really rough.

so my question is, what kind of primer goes good under model master paints. i normally dont use a primer but when i do body work of a kit is modeled in a color i like to.

A few of my mates on another forum use this stuff alot to paint their xmods, they use duplicolour as the primer, maybe try tamiyas surface primers too.

P.S. il be putting a new vid up today.

I mostly use Color Place paint myself. I was using Model Master paint on the Custom General Lee model I'm working on and that paint didn't work to well.

i've tried color place and its awful, lacquers are the only thing that work for me in my tropical climate.

On common kits I use Tamiya fine gray or white primer. It's the best, by far the smoothest, it's lacquer. It's also very expensive. Alternatives are Duplicolor and Plastikote automotive sandable primers, and I've heard good things about Duplicolor's primer/sealer, they say it sprays incredibly smooth and in nice thin coats.

In general, an automotive primer will be good, as long as it is labeled "sandable".

You can also get away without primer on a lot of models, especially using Testors lacquers, as they're mild and won't hurt the plastic, and they cover very well.
