Primer for Acrylic Paints

[Deejay27]

What is a good primer to use with Tamiya acrylic paints? Any recommendations? Thanks.

A good question. I am not sure, but i think Tamiya white primer will do.

Nope....I don't think so.
I used Krylon sandable once and couldn't get Tamiya paints to stick to it in any decent form.....ended up stripping it and starting over.

I would only recommend Tamiya primer, I use it under their acryllics and it works great.

Any primer except Testor...
Primer when Dry, any paint can go over without problem

Freakray...does the Tamiya primer spray out transparent then whiten up? I used it last week on my little bro's car and it didn't spray well for some strange reason. The stuff in the bottle was super thick! I had to thin it out quite a bit and when I sprayed it the primer looked like powdered sugar on the shell when it dried up (speckles everywhere). Maybe I just purchased a "bad" bottle of primer?

I use Tamiya primer in a rattle can, sprays white or grey depending straight out the can, I just make sure to shake the can good before I start spraying.
Never had it come out clear as you say, so perhaps you didn't get it mixed enough?
