i just recently sprayed my datsun 240z without primer as i have none yet and i am impatient. looks alright to me. but i did notice light running. nothing a second coaut didnt fix. it looks very clean to me so i dunno. but i plan on using primer on my future models because i do know it makes it all alot easier. its relaly one of those preference things again.

I havn't used white or grey primers yet, but have used silver and black for basecoats. I'd have to say I didn't really notice a different with basecoats, besides with a candy colour (obviously).

The primer argument has been going for many thread..
Different people got different preference..
IMO, test it out yourself and see if you like to paint with primer or without primer.
I would advise to go with primer though.

@ales: thx for your tipps, my question about removing revell enamels was just because i spilled something onto another part that i want to be sprayed ... :-/

Which primer did you use? Tamiya or Revell? Tamiya´s primer is much better than Revell´s crap. Sure, primer is a good thing, but not necessary. And I think the discussion about primer became boring, we could discuss for the next 1000 years and we´ll never come to an end.

From where in Germany are you?

Can anyone tell if this one has been primered beforehand??

Snooker · #24 03-06-2003, 05:12 AM

Yes, the Revell primer is not bad... but in my opinion the Tamiya one is better.

Where do you manage to find Revell primer and paints?

Even the biggest stores I go to in Allentown, which even stock Humbrol paints, can't get Revell paints.

I always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS prime before painting.

It's the paint thats stocked w/the revell models. Not sure what they're called, just quoting the post above.

used automotive primer, cause i didn't found any shop here in the near wich sold tamiya primer.

and some parts of the car i sprayed without primer (underbody) and it came out very smooth, but with primer i had orange peel and it was too thick.

i'm from bedburg / nrw

It might depend on how long you wait for the primer coat to dry. I left a really thick coat of primer to dry for about a day in warm temps (28degC or so) and then started with the color coats, and i ended up with some rough spots here and there... but nothing sandpaper couldn't fix easily.

Besides, the primer coat doesn't have to be perfect, it just preps the body. A misty coat is all that is needed! Hope this helps.
