martinfan5 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Its always good to stay with the same brands for all the stages, well from what I hear, I dont , and for the most part have no problems, I use duplicolor primer, then either tamyia or MM lacquer, and the MM clear coat. But I dont know about HOK, but I think you will be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 You are welcome, some one will else will give you a much better answer then I can, only other thing I can add is , to test on a spare or scrap piece of plastic to see if the different paints will work with each other.

GeeBee Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've used the Tamiya fine primer under cellulose and acrylic lacquer paints with no problems, but mainly I use Hycote plastic primer, I also mix Tamiya and Humbrol and Testors enamels with lacquer thinners, makes them dry out much quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I use Plastikote Primer (rattle can), House of Kolor bases (airbrushed), PEARL EX (suspended in HOK Intercoat Clear, airbrushed) on top of that, and then I clear it all with DuPont Acrylic Spot Clear (rattle can). That usually gets me consistent results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Which lacquer thinners do you use? Rustins, it's not the cheapest, but it's 100% pure solvent, It doesn't contain any xylol, toluene or any other petroleum derivative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffreak Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Side note here, as long as we're talking about true hok paints, and not the horrid rattlecans that were out a few years ago, I have had no problem mixing Tamiya, Plasticote, or hok.

martinfan5 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Geebee, Junkman, what is the distance between the two of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 As long as you work from hotter to milder you should be fine regardless of brand. The only exception is if you are working with something hot enough to damage the plastic, then you need to find a primer mild enough for the plastic that won't react to a hotter paint above it.
