Making a Daredevil mask/cowl. Should I spray primer directly at dried acrylic putty? Or should I coat the putty first with something?

Hello all!

I'm making a Daredevil mask/cowl. I had a question that I wrote in the title.

Because all pressurized sprays usually also contain a solvent, I would advise using a non acrylic spray set. If you spray acrylic sprays onto an acrylic surface it can and will affect the surface. You can often get away with it if you do very light coats and allow each to dry completely. No puddling, no "wet" look, that would be too much at one go.

You can go ahead and spray primer on it. If it's cured. You'll probably end up sanding most of it off anyway, as the primer will show off all the imperfections for you.

I find that I go through a few layers of primer, then putty then primer, then putty and so on until I have a nice smooth surface that I'm happy with.

So be ready for the possibility that you won't be painting just yet.

Why does it feel like you just described prepping for retirement?
