Question: what primer did you use?

I tried building this car recently and just could not get the paint (using same mixture of Tamiya X4 & X16 as you) to lay flat. It was always orange-peeley and pebbly no matter what pressure\thinner ratio I used. Finally I just gave it up after stripping it twice and it's sitting in a box right now.

I had used Krylon white primer on it, but now I'm wondering if my troubles weren't related to that. I've since switched back to using the Tamiya primer, but just curious what you used here?

Thanks,

ianc
Hello ianc,

I'm not at home right now, so I can't check, but I think it is PPG Microfill Primer 1500. Never had a problem with it. A friend just warned me that the color should be more purple, will try to fix that.

Regards,
Denilson
