just a few ?'s about the metalizers, i just bought a few at my LHS for motor/suspension detail.
1. do they require thinning before i airbrush them
2. is primer required, i know i've read that some people have had problems with them adhearing to plastic just wondering if primer would help this
thanks:sly:

They're pre-thinned.. and as far as I know, you dont need a primer of any sort. You will have to buff the buffing metallizers, but not the non buffing metallizers. You have to seal both types, though, with a metallizer sealer, or a normal clear coat.

Testors metalizers work pretty decent for me,but they are very fragile. definatly seal them. Also if you try to apply them over ANY type of filler(putty or super glue) they will not work. Hope that helps.
