MM Enamel Primer from a Bottle Drying Time?

I still have the old Kalmbach "How to build plastic ship models".  He recommends lacquers for hull painting.  I don't know what it is about the way lacquers settle or cover, but they look better for certain applications.

I use lacquer primers too, but stick with the enamel paint.  I don't like acrylic lacquers, but find the available colors in normal lacquer lacking, except for model cars.

TY, I'm coming back from my 4th hiatus from the hobby.  Didn't even know lacquer based primers existed.  Looking forward to discovering new toys as I re-enter the hobby.

Not a problem at all.

Here are my 'go-to' primers. I mostly use the white because a color coat over it is more 'true'. The gray primer tends to darken a top coat just a bit. I'm sure other brands make a lacquer-based primer as well:

Ahhh, so maybe I'll use lacquer from a can.  Thank you sir, thank you very much!

I have all but given up on enamel anything for this reason. Takes too flippin' long to dry. I use lacquer-based primers in a rattle can. Sprayed, they are usually good to go in a couple hours. I reckon if you brush them it'd be a little longer, but still better than waiting days or a week for an enamel.

Don, using Testors MM enamel gray primer from a bottle, not a rattle can.  Guess I'll give it a little longer with the dehumidifier running.  Thank you again!

Dave

Don, thanks very much for the reply.  I guess my second question would be, can I paint on primer that isn't fully cured?  I had the dehumidifier going for quite a few hours but the weather is humid, and this is indeed a basement.
