Happy new year everyone.....
I recently replaced my Modelmaster paint collection with Mission Models. Used Mission paint on Tamiya spray primer a few years ago with no problems. But, i recently started a project with Mission white primer and cannnot get it to go on smoothly. I have tried their recommended primer/thinner ration and the mixture clogged up my double action airbrush very quickly with a thick coagulation that was hard to clean up. Primer didnt flow on very smoothly on the model.
So, I doubled the thinner ratio and used a single action brush. Results were pretty much the same with the same gluey like glob of gunk fouling the airbrush very quickly. Stuff is really hard to clean out of the tip.
Any suggestions out there or is there a compatible primer that doesnt clog as easily and go on smoother? i sent an email to Mission a couple of weeks ago but they never replied.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have always used Tamiya in the rattlecan,it's pretty tough stuff,no problems.I use and like MM paint also,but stick with my enamel primers.
Don't forget to look at the Airbrushing and Painting forum. With all the new brands of paint there are frequent discussions on using new paint brand.

I can't really comment on Mission Models primer as I have never used it, but my advice would be to go back to what was working for you before. That Tamiya primer you had been using is trouble-free and becomes just about the best airbrushable primer you can get when you decant it and thin it with MEK. I decant the entire can into a 4 ounce mason jar, and I get months worth of priming everything on my builds.

Well can't say much, I only use Stynlrez primers anymore, for over 4 years now for both acrylic top coats and enamels. Just give them a good mix now and then with a Badger battery powered paint mixer because the solids can really settle out and it doesn't look it through the bottle, especially in the black primer.. Hand stirring once separated wasn't doing the job but the Badger makes short work of mixing. I'm happy with this stuff, changed from lacquer primer. But I've never used Missions primer.
