RJ-WobblyHands Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 So What am I doing wrong .... this stuff randomly peels off at the slightest touch !! The base is clean and dry.. , the primer well mixed - shook the bottle for a several minutes. Misty light coats were applied Then left it for 24-48hrs before spraying the base coat.

Mike Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It's not my favourite either. I had that same problem with their Metal Color (sic) primer. That and you can't sand it without peeling. Alclad and Ultimate's rebadge of Badger Stylnrez (or however you spell it) are the best from my POV, but Alclad is lacqueur based, while Ultimate Primer is acrylic based. All IMHO, I must add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Thats just how that stuff is. Not really a 'workable' primer the way that people think primers should be. The vallejo stuff in my opinion is best for armour or figures, stuff that won't need masking, or to provide a uniform base colour over different components (resin/metal/plastic) before the main paintjob starts. If you want a workable and tough acrylic primer - get some stynylrez instead 👍🏿 Edited March 29, 2017 by Tony Oliver Posted same info as Mike at about the same time.

Venelin Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I used Vallejo primer long ago and didn't like it. Now I'm using Mr. Surfacer 1500 and is my primer of choise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Oh yes, I forgot about Mr Surfacer. That or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer in cans can usually be found in my spray booth in case I need to do some spot priming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather say "Ultimate Primer". Much easier, and trips of the tongue... it also sands exceptionally well, unlike most acrylic primers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you don't get any dry gritty/rough overspray areas like you can with lacquer types that dry too soon in the air. Stynylrez almost always lands 'wet' and then self levels. I don't use anything else to prime with now 👍🏿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
