Michael-376974 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Most of the models I have built to date have been grey plastic sprues and I have used grey primer. My difficulty is only applying an initial mist coat as I cannot see how much primer I have applied until it is wet and shiny under the light. My query is would it be ok to apply a mist coat of black primer which will work fine under OD green but apply a second primer of grey for lighter-coloured models I have two high quality airbrushes and work under an LED bulb. I have no problem with spraying, just in seeing what I have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorman Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 No reason why not. You could also darken the grey primer to give that little bit of shade difference to allow you to see what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSkids Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I occasionally use the Tamiya fine surfacer that is white primer. It has slight lightening effect but several thin coats of the colouring pop well.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I use Mr Surfacer and it comes in black, white, grey and red, so you can choose a colour that works best with whatever plastic the kit comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
