Hi All,
This is a fairly basic question but ...
If I paint metal figures (and in fact I treat plastic figures the same, bar the fact they get a wash in mild soapy water first), I spray on a Grey Primer and then tackle the model with a brush.
However, I get nervous when doing that with a plastic kit/resin model.
With the resin model, I always worry that the primer paint won't stick to the smooth surface. Certainly if I used a brush primer, like the one from Vallejo, it doesn't adhere particularly well in a first coat with lost of streaks.
With a plastic kit, I worry about the smooth surfaces and the detail being obscured by the primer.
I guess I'm over-thinking it but what to the kit model makers do? Just use an airbrush and put colour straight on to the plastic ...
