Bleed through........

[brad4321]

Body is molded in red. I want the body to be white. I covered completely in silver, then several coats of Tamiya white primer. Couple hours later and parts are turning pink. So...

1) Any ideas?

2) I'm not hell bent on the car being white. What colors (I really don't want black or aluminum) would hide the red bleed through? Red? What else?

I am very surprised it came thru silver but you could have used grey primer then silver then white. I you could go with a red or dark blue..

Thanks. I thought for sure the silver would do the trick. Red didn't start to show until about the 3rd or so coat of white primer. Maybe I'll just build a pink 67 Corvette. :/

Michael - I have heard that "Kilz" works quite good as a sealer over red-coloured platic .

I've not needed to try "Kilz" just yet ; however , "Mr. Mike" has . It was via his advice to another member that I found this info out . I wish that I could find the thread wherein Mike showcases his use of Kilz . From what I can recall , Kilz lays-down smoothly and is easily wet sanded .

That is the sequence I follow.

You should be able to seal it with Future as well.

Future is always an easy way to seal things off. If you need to get serious move up to an isolator like U-pol Barcoat
