cchapman195 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I have a slight issue I was hoping I can figure out. I just opened a new rattle can of Testors Flat Gray Primer. I shot a body and after waiting for 2 days and 1 day in a dehydrator I went to sand it. It has a weird color to the gray and as I sanded it it came off in little rubber like balls. The finish itself was pretty smooth but wanted to sand 1 final time. Would it be okay to reprime over with Rustolium that I usually use for primer? or shoulod I strip and start over? any help would be great. Thanks in advanced .
Harry P. Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 This is obviously not a tip or technique. It's a question. Please post in the right place next time... I get tired of moving mis-posted topics day after day...
cchapman195 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 Sorry Harry, I brought up another tab as to not lose my place in the tips section and apparently posted in the tips. I will make sure I am on the right tab next time. My bad
Guest Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 If you're having trouble sanding it, I would definitely strip it and start over. I've never heard a good thing about Testors primer. I always use Plasti Kote sandable primer myself. You can spray any type of paint over it with no problems.

I would have to agree, do your self a favor, toss the testor junk in the trash, and go get some automotive primer, Plastikote, duplicolor, both good primers, and for the same price on the testor shot glass size can, you can get three times the size of the automotive primer
cchapman195 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks Roger and Jonathon. Body is sitting in LA's totally awesome now. I ran out of primer and a friend gave me a new can of testors to use. I have gone and picked up Rustolium sandable primer that I usually use. Lesson well learned here. Use what works every time and I can save time. Thanks for responding
