                        Krylon spray paint as a primer
                        Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, August 14, 2005 7:37 PM
                        So, before I get started on this model I thought that I would try something new and different. I was going to spray paint the model in silver as my primer before I try out my new airbrush for the top coats. I have never heard of anyone doing this before so I am not quite sure if spray paint is the way to go on this one(worried about dippage more than anything else) or if I should just use testors silver enamel, which I know has a nice shine.
                        thank you

                        either the rattle cans or the testors silver will work, although you are right, the testors silver through your airbrush will have less chances of runs... there's something on it here.. http://www.swannysmodels.com/Salting.html

                        I just reread the title and realize you said Krylon, you can decant it and spray it from the airbrush like Swanny does for Krylon black:

                        look for the part where he primes with Krylon black l would be the same for silver...

                        I decant spraypaint all the time for use in my AB. With most of them they can be thinned and still spray nicely with lacquer thinner. You don't have to thin them though. However all the silver spraypaints I have tried work best if you don't thin them. Just decant and spray as is through the AB.

                        won't spray paint be more difficult to clean from an AB, I would hate to risk ruining a good airbrush

                        I also decant from the rattle cans and always clean my airbrush with lacquer thinner.
