How do I use this?!?!?
Can't believe I'm asking this bit....hgow do I use this Mr. Metal Primer. Instructions for use are in Japanese and covered with a Hungarian label
Do I thin it? airbrush it? Brush it on? Does it eat plastic? Does it replace eg tamiya proimer spray or do I use that after? Really appreciate your help

Thats for diecasts mainly. I believe it has an etching agent in it to etch the zinc in cast white metal.

From my experience, it won't damage plastic (sometimes I use this as primer for my model cars if I'm too lazy to go and get plastic primer). It is best applied using airbrush and thinned with Gunze Thinner.
The Mr Metal Primer is used to coat, what else, metals of course. It is used for priming etch parts and other metals. The downside is that it is clear, so you have to make sure that you have applied it evenly throughout the surface. It also comes in a spraycan.

Re: How do I use this?!?!?
Thanks gents - much appreciated!
Interesting to note David's comment that it can be used a sealer on metals - just what I need on my 2CV dampers
