Knowledge Base Topic - Priming and Painting - How to protect and enhance your model BASIC

Post by Armortek »

I've just uploaded a new, illustrated Knowledge Base Topic on Priming and Painting in response to a recent question on the Forum. It's intended to be a guide to best practice for an Out of the Box build.

http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewt ... 297#p49297

This is a subject where the community has huge experience and it would be really helpful to have any comments and suggestions, so that it truly reflects best practice amongst Armortek customers.

There are still a quite a few topics which need writing or updating.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

The U-POL Acid #8 etch primer seems to be widely used here, does anyone have a recommendation for a specific brand of red oxide primer that combines well with the U-POL Acid#8?
(And should the red oxide primer be of an etch type as well? :roll: )

Curious what you guys are using for it and what is recommendable.

Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Roy
