tamiya primer gray vs fine light gray

[Mike Chernecki]

What is the difference between Tamiya gray primer #87042 and Tamiya fine light gray #87064? I didn't know there was 2 different grays. I ran out of the fine gray and picked up the other gray thinking it was the same.

Just a little thicker, not as fine and smooth. Still good stuff, though.

I use Duplicolor primer.

Thanks, I will save this for the first coat on another project. I just need more for a final coat before paint, don't want to deal with a heavier coat at this point. I will get a can of the fine tomorrow.

The fine primer is also nice for small parts like engines and interiors where you don't want to lose any detail

Mike,

See my post dated June 21 On the thread "What type and brand of rattle primer do you use" in this section. ( today it was page 8)

Many top builders have switched to these and I have gotten great feed back.

I hope this helps, jwrass

James,

I have seen your thread and Thanks. I haven't seen the Martin Senour brands in the Canadian Napa stores, only the Plasti-kote primers. I have used the Plasti-kote and dupli-color and like them. I have also used the Dupli-Color Paint Shop primer through my airbrush and love it, very fine like the Tamiya. I just happened to try Tamia on this project and ran out, bought the other gray, etc.
