Painting Technique question.

You should always put a Primer on, I use Dark Aircraft Grey.

I had the same trouble on a Fujimi BAe Red Arrow Hawk that was molded in red (old kit). Finally decided to paint it white all over and then mask the arrows. So I think your suggestion is a good one.

I always prime, anyway because it makes imperfections pop out. Sanding and filling over primer is less frustrating than thinking you're almost done, and finding out how far you really are from finished!
