Painting and priming a plastic model car
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 24, 2005 9:21 AM
I thought I would double check with some of you expects before I get myself into trouble. I am painting a plastic model car. I will prime it lightly with automotive primer the product is called PLASTI-KOTE and then I intend to lightly paint it with a can of Ford Model Master Custom Lacquer System. In both cases priming and painting I planned on spaying the contents of the cans into my airbrush bottle and then apply it to the model. Any additional advise would be most appreciated. I think I can do the above without a problem. Thanks....

should work out fine... if that is real auto primer you might want to watch out as some of it has larger particles and could cover up detail on a model. Something made for modeling would definitely do the job. That said some primers work just fine for model applications. Does it say "fine" or "very fine" on the label? if it doesn't you might want to spray it on a test piece first (as in something extra from an old kit) to make sure.

If you posted this in the auto forum you'll probably get a better answer from someone who paint cars a lot more than me... (I do mainly aircraft)
