Model Master Acryl Gray Primer

[starmanmm]

I usually use the automotive spray can primer for my models..... but I have a bottle of this stuff hanging around and was wondering....does anyone out there use this and what do you think?

Good

Bad

More or Less OK

Well, in my case, the stuff had poor adherence.
I used it about twice and each time, i was lifting both the base color and the primer layer right to bare plastic while unmasking.
Iwould say; if you have to mask something, stay away from the stuff.
(And yes, i washed the kit previously.)

It's just a flat medium gray acrylic paint with the same chemistry as the regular acryl paints.

I'd stick with hotter primers like you've been using.

Thanks all.... that is what I figured.

I am just getting started in all this. Can someone list some brand names of good black primers to use on Styrene? Automotive and/or otherwise.

I can't recall seeing a high-build black primer like you get in gray, if you need a solid black undercoat then I'd use any flat black spray paint. If there was a lot of putty work involved that you needed to cover up I'd shoot a gray filler primer, sand it smooth then shoot the black over that.
