The only good thing I have to say about Testor's is that it caused me to learn to use an airbrush!! Seriously though, the problem I have with Testors is that it takes waaaaaay too long to dry......in fact I don't think it ever really dries. Also I learned not to trust what might come out of the can on any given day, as the pressure can be unreliable in my experience. Modelmaster may be a different story in that it seems to be a better grade of paint than the regular Testors paints in the small bottles, and their spray cans are a little better quality. But after what I've just described, I don't trust their cans either.

Having said that, I would NOT use Testors brand for any sort of a primer......I personally use Krylon Sandable Primers, since most of what I paint is acrylic enamels, which is compatible with the Krylon. You can find Krylon at any K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Hardware Store or what have you.

As always, it's a real good idea to test these paints on a junk body. before trying these out on your prize project.
