Alclad Honey primer

[desmojen]

Morning dudes,

Got my latest box of consumables yesterday including two tins of Alclad primer. I basically ordered the grey and the honey, thinking that the honey primer would be beige in colour.

On opening the tin I found that it in fact appears to be a slightly tinted clear. Have I got a faulty tin with the filler missing, or is honey primer for something else completely?

I checked the Alclad website, but it's about as helpful as a sore bottom!

I was looking at this last night on Hiroboy, their description is as follows -

"Honey Primer Its main use is a primer for the hi-shine finishes,if you mask and paint some panels gloss black,remove the tape and spray clear base over the entire model-then use 1 hi-shine shade the result will be a difference in 'tonal value' due to the light and dark base (as most kits are grey or silver plastic the panels which have only clear on them as a base modify the strength of the reflected light). The clear can be used as a base for the normal Alclad colours but it should be left for 24 hours before being painted over."

hope this helps Jen
