Hillbilly Deluxe Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Hey all I am building a 69 Z28, and am painting it with Testors light gray metallic lacquer base/clear, will the kit decals be safe or will this type of clear damage them? Also what is the best type of primer for this kind of paint? Thanks John
Gregg Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Any type of automotive primer surfacer will work, such as the ones from Duplicolor, Napa, Bondo, or the Tamiya Primers are fanatastic, but pricey The clear should be okay over the decals just make sure you let them dry for as long as you can before you spray the clear Always use light mist coats with the primer It can craze the plastic if shot on too wet and fast The new Testors Lacquers don't need primers I shot the new Revell `49 Merc last weekend on straight plastic Came out great!!!!
