Vallejo or xtracrylix

[jaffa]

Hi guy's and girls

I have a dilemma which would you use?

I have a mosquito ready to paint but wondering what to primer with I have vallejo primer but would need the vallejo paint numbers for closest match

Dark green

Ocean grey

Medium sea grey

I have the correct xtracrylix colours but no primer can you use the vallejo primer or not?

I've heard the xtracrylix don't stick to well and can lift when removing tamiya masking tape?

Help please don't want to bin another model for paint issues!!!

get yourself down to the nearest halfords and get a can of their grey primer, xtracrlix are fine if used over it

Unfortunately I can't use that as I spray indoors so smell is an issue

To be honest I would not switch the Xtracrylics colours you have for the equivalent Vallejo ones, to my eyes the former look very good and their Ocean Grey is my favourite

I'm pretty sure that Xtracrylics will stick to any primer designed for plastic. I spray them over Tamiya's spray primer and stick well, or let's say as well as they will stick (Xtracrylics can be a bit fragile). I'd just use them over the vallejo primer, if you'r not sure you can always test first on a bit of scrap sprue
