RodneyBad Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I Loved Plasti Kote Primer and paint. But Primed and painted in a single afternoon with Tamiya Gray Primer and Tamiya Mica Red. And these are not even the best pics (well, the best I could do) Need I say more?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 >Tamiya is not only NOT the best, it is not important. that might be your opinion (and thats what it is, an opinion, unless you got something scientific to back it up), but i dont share it. thanks though. In my opinion, Tamiya is the best for models. I don't mind airbrushing paint but when it comes to primer, I would rather spray it from a can. Duplicolor Filler Primer is a good option and I do use it in some cases like resin bodies and chassis. I haven't used Mr Surfacer but it is more expensive (in spray cans) than Tamiya. I bought six cans of Tamiya when I first heard it would be unavailable for a time, so I have a good supply to get me thru until it return.

Brutalform Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well...I picked up two cans of PlastiKote primers. One gray, and one white. I'm sure they will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you happen to be near the border with the 'great white north' ie Canada check out the hobby shops here. I've had no problems picking up cans of Tamiya white or grey at my LHS. A couple of months back I mentioned to the owner the problems that I'd heard about and he responded that he was having no problems getting it in.
