White color nightmare

[Xavnl]

Hey!

 

I am having a hard time painting this color.

I am using acrylic Ammo Mig White with a brush. Paint doesn't "stick" to the primer, the end result is a very thin and uneven layer of white-ish paint.

So far I tried to paint a radome, some missiles and landing gear bays.

 

Any tips?

Build up the layers, very thin, multiple coats, don't try to get a good finish with 2-3 layers, you won't be able to. Alternatively you could try using an aerosol, that would give you far better results than with the brush.

White is a swine. Halfords aerosol white primer and/or Appliance white will sort your needs.

Three words: Tamiya White Primer. So good you can use it as it. No top coats necessary.

Ordered.

Thanks.
