Krylon primer + Tamiya spray ok?
I went shopping for primer, and found that my local hobby shop charges $5 for a 6-inch tall can of plastic modelling primer while Wal-Mart has the 10 inch tall Krylon all-purpose (including plastic) primer for $4. I was wondering if using the Krylon as a primer and the Tamiya spray to paint over it will be disastrous or if it will yield the same results as with the modelling primer. Thanks

Krylon Primer should be fine I ahve used all types of paint over it including Tamiya. Let it dry a day or two and it will sand better. Do not use it on a humid day ever. Sand it down smooth with 2000 grit paper. It is somewhat absorbent so I usually put a couple of coats on, let dry overnight then sand again and put a couple final coats on. The final coats will go on smoother because the previous coats sealed the primer.

I tried using Tamiya gloss black over a Krylon base and the black didn't seem to stick very well, it ran off of all the sharp edges. I would try it on a scrap piece first. Keep us posted if it works!

Re: Krylon primer + Tamiya spray ok?
I'd get the wal-mart brand primer, it's thinner, and a lot lighter, so painting brighter colors over top isn't as difficult. If you didn't know, wal-mart's brand is color-place. Check it out, it's the best 94 cents i've ever spent on primer. Krylon is too thick, and waayy too dark. good luck.

Re: Krylon primer + Tamiya spray ok?
hmm regarding Turbo Monster's post, i was planning to buy the Krylon White Primer to go with my TS-26 Tamiya white spray paint... would this still be too heavy and dark?

Re: Krylon primer + Tamiya spray ok?
I used to use krylon, but I don't really anymore, but I never have tried their white primer, only their gray. Maybe its a little better. Try it and see! Good Luck!
