I was wondering what you were up to, Russ.

I haven't been able to find the Krylon camo paints for months now and I've been curious about why they disappeared. They're probably the best primer/top coat I've ever used.

I can see why you placed so well. That's a damn nice looking tank, like usual.

Thanks Mike. I think Krylon got the axe, all I can find is Rustoleum, which doesn't go on quite as fine. Rats. I've actually started using the Vallejo spray cans, but they really need a primer under them if the model is mixed media or even mixed color plastic. They cover okay but go on so thin and fine (also dead flat) that I end up with a different shade unless I prime first.

I know exactly what you mean. The Rust-Oleum does a good job, but it sprays on much thicker and takes much longer to cure fully. It's better than anything else available right now, but I really want the Krylon to return lol.

I've had poor results with Vallejo's primers not sticking any better than their regular paints do. I'm not sure why Vallejo hasn't found a better formula yet.

I'd prefer Tamiya, but it's not easy to find in my area.
