I've just come across Ammo One Shot Primers, they say they are acrylic based which encourages me. Anyone here used it successfully? or does it just peel like Vallejo?
Ammo One-Shot and UMP are (alledged) to be re-badged Badger StyNylRes primer, Top Stuff. I do not rate Vallejo Polyeurethane Primer, does not work well for me, doesn't stick, peels like a bananana!
You have noted the quality of the plastic matters as well, but to minimise issues,
Your model needs to be:
* Keyed, buff with 0000 grade carbide paper or nail buffing sticks or 3M pot scrubbers to key the surface.
* clean, rinse with soapy water to de de-dust, then IPA/Alcohol is a good surface prep.
* a good quality primer:
One-Shot, UMP, StyNylRes, Halfords rattle-can (UK) Tamiya Primer, Mr Surfacer 1000, or even just Tamiya acrylic.
Having said that, Badger StyNylRes is my go-to, but I will sometimes miss any or all of the steps, depending on the situation!
