paint and primer combined?
Posted by jackball74 on Thursday, October 17, 2013 1:46 PM

While at the store today I saw a line of Krylon paint for plastics that boasted "no primer needed". Has anyone used this?

I've used it on a couple of my household items. It's very coarse. I wouldn't use it on scale models.

I don't mean to be a thread crapper but I'm not a big fan of an "all-in-one" anything. Like the old saying "jack of all trades, master of none".

I do like Krylon thinner, but it is indeed quite rough and thick, so I always sand it down before applying color.  I use few Krylon color paints.  One that is great, however, is their satin black. It is an excellent color and sheen match for MM bottles of "black chrome."

Available in lots of armour colours inc. US OD, Russian Green, British Green, German Rotbraun & Sandgelb, etc...
