discussion how colors are different between primers

[Guest]

There's one small snag with your somewhat rude response

I wasn't bothered by the tone or words of Alan's reply Edgar, I know he didn't mean anything by it.

I prime most of my kits as it seems to be the "norm" but on occasion I have gone straight to paint (mainly figures )and never encountered problems with paint not adhering or lifting etc.Laurie keep your sticky fingers off your figures by inserting a cocktail stick into the part were the sun doesn't shine

No that restricts me John. But that was not the point. I using the inexperience with the figures sans primer to illustrate avec primer.

I do not think any body is being rude here Edgar. Just forthright and I do not see a problem in that in fact I welcome it. Much better to state your intentions rather than waffle

Cost isn't really an issue as I use Halfords plastic primer, one 3000ml aerosol tin will do several models. Compared to the cost of the model and all the other stuff I end up buying the cost of primer is the least of my concerns

Wow Steve a 3000ml can must be some size!

Yep! 10 times the size of the ones you can actually buy

If I'm painting figures I do all the tidy up first then a 500 Mr surfaced in the joins a quick tidy up and then use a grey Matt acrylic that I have surplus of but dilute it down 50/50 with acrylic thinners ( this gives a light finish to the fig to be painted) and also shows up any blemishes needing attention. I have used car spray primers but I struggle with overspray so thought the 50/50 with thinners a better first spray with a/b. To be honest it's all about taste and choice of the modeller. What one modeller does is their choice as to another

Sorry I missed your point Laurie I was just concerned you were rubbing the paint of your figures (as you stated) when handling them just trying to be helpful as to how useful a cocktail stick can be.ill go back into my corner

This is not surprising John I talk in riddles. No body laughs at them either and Pauline hates them. But I try.
