                        That was a mouthfull! anybody got any bright Ideas about painting PH? my technique right now involves tamiya primer - then whatever color The primer gips OK - the best out of Gunze and testors But I'm the kinda guy that likes bulletproof paint jobs and was wondering if there are any part preps that can be done to provide better metal-paint adhesion - acetone? or someting along those lines or some cool primers... - gonna keep experimenting but thought I'd put it out there.

                        Eduards web page said you can use vingar to cleaan and the slightly acidic nature will give it a little tooth for you paint to adhere.

                        I always soak my metal parts in vinegar prior to priming them.

                        Either Tamiya or Gunze White primer.

                        How long do you soak?

                        A minute or two, alternatively I and the parts lightly with 400 grid paper prior to priming.

                        I don't do anything to prime my PE parts. They are just glued on and painted when the rest of the model is.
