ultimate modelling products primers

[sinnerboy]

Title says it all really.

Any one use these?

Any good?

Thoughts?

Ok under laquers?

 

Have heard that they are rebranded Badger Stynylrez, that said have never used those either. 

 

TIA

I'm a fairly long term user of Ultimate primers and I think they're great. Having said that I paint in acrylics and have no idea how they would perform under lacquers.

 

I have white, grey, black and gloss black. I've used the gloss black under metallic (Vallejo Metal Color) which required lots of masking and unmasking and I had no problems of the paint lifting.

 

Here's a little pic:

Maybe someone will come along who paints in lacquers.

Good luck

This is the only brand of primers I use, and I think they are absolutely fantastic! No issues with chipping, or paint lifting from masking tape. I use grey, black, gloss black (for metal surfaces) and rust red. Works a charm!

 

That said, just as @Mark Harmsworth I only use acrylics. So no idea how they perform with laquers.

 

Side note: I use Ulitmate Thinner as well, and I find it really, really good.
