Primer over primer different brands/types

Don Stauffer

Test first!  There are lacquer, enamel, and acrylic primers out there.  I have had some react badly.

So yes it seems vallejo metal gloss primer does go down over stynylrez primer without any issues... Also I have to say I'm loving the vallejo metal colours they are great..

So stupid (or lazy) question time again... Some of my parts call for aluminium and gloss black.. Now the vallejo gloss black primer is blacker and glossier than anything I have paint wise... Could I just mask off the parts to be gloss black spray the aluminium and then just clear coat straight over it all thus using the primer as my gloss black coat? (if that makes sense?) 

 

Should work. Try it and let us know.

Sometimes you might get some dust flecks in the primer, I use steel wool to polish up Stynylrez and get out any flecks of dust etc. 000 or 0000. Takes paper towels to the next level when needed, you need no weight bearing with 000. Works great for me but I have the steel wool on hand for my wood turnings.  Just sayin.

I've started using Stynylrez and it's love at first sight. It seems to be thin, tough, adheres well and actually comes up to a medium sort of level of polish with a paper towel rub.

 

 

 

That paper towel thing works. Just tried it and it certainly does smooth out the stynylrez with just a little wiping. Outstanding.

Picked up a bottle of Stynylrez,since the LHS was out of Tamiya,do you spray that stuff right out of the bottle?

 

 

 

 

Yes right out of the bottle 25 to 30 psi. No thinning needed just shake well.

 

 

 

 

I spray it straight from the bottle at 15psi with a 0.5 needle and it goes on like a dream.. 

 

 

I'm using a .35 so it takes a bit more pressure but still goes on like a dream.

I've shot it through a .25 Badger nozzle, both slightly thinned and also not thinned. I prefer the slightly thinned method with that nozzle which only makes sense.

Hmm I wonder if my .35 needle will make a difference, I use Iwata HP-CS

Usually I do yes. Give it a really good shaking up ahead of putting in your cup.

I use Stynylrez and have put any number of different paints over it successfully. I can't imagine there is anything toxic to the Stynylrez in the Vallejo. But as mentioned when in doubt test. Let us know how it goes !

Sure, it could be. Do a test on something you don't care about and give it plenty of time to cure between coats, then report back.

I've started using Stynylrez and it's love at first sight. It seems to be thin, tough, adheres well and actually comes up to a medium sort of level of polish with a paper towel rub.

Other modelers report mixed results with Vallejo primer adhering to plastic. I cannot vouch for that one way or the other since I don't use Vallejo paint. So if you could get your particular witches brew there to work, please report.

I'm currently testing Alclad over Stynylrez, but that wasn't your question.
