Question for Arron-do you have any issues with the MM Acrylic when removing any masking tape when using MM Acrylic Primer? I have on occasion and now use Krylon (spray can and a trip to the garage). |

Bobbaily,
Yes. I have had that problem, usually in odd areas of the model such as corners, etc. I surmise that there are a couple of possible causes for this: 1) improperly prepared plastic. If that stuff's not perfectly clean, then the paint can lift. 2) Getting the paint too thick in places (such as corners, where the paint tends to pool).
Obviously, the acrylic doesn't adhere to the plastic as well as enamels to. I have tried Tamiya spray can primer before under the paint to no ill effect.
I, like one of the other members above mentioned, used to live in a place where Testors paints were my only option, and have always preferred acrylics, so me and the Acryl line are well acquainted.
I may try the Krylon paints next. Thanks for the tip!
