Looking for pics of models painted with Testors acrylic teal.

[Monty]

Here's the stuff I'm talking about - not the "teal" in the 1/4 oz jars.

I'm told it's a slightly different shade (not as dark) as Testors' enamel Chezoom Teal. I'm also curious about its opacity. Will the shade of primer affect its appearance?

Bonus question: What's a good primer for acrylics?

This cougar is is painted in the above color. I used Tamiya's white primer. It only has 3 coats of the color and four coats of clear.

Hope this helps.

How is that close to teal, which has a more green cast to it?

Al, that's a good lookin' Cougar, but are you sure it was painted Teal? As Skip noted, the color I'm looking for should be more bluish-green or vice versa.

If I understood you correctly, you shot MM acrylic over Tamiya lacquer primer? OK, apparently that works well.

Monty,

It is teal, maybe it's the picture. With the Tamiya white primer, you get the color you want by the number of coats you add.
