Had a couple of rookie questions if anyone has the time.
Is Model Master Primer compatible with Testors Spray paint? (I have Model master grey primer, plan on using Testors Chrome spray enamel).
I have a model where I have sprayed some parts with Testors Metallic Silver (1246), and read that Model Masters and Testors gloss and dull coats are not compatible with this metallic paint. Does anyone know if this is correct, and if so what would be the best final coat to use? I considered using Pledge Multi-care floor finish as a gloss coat first, then dull down with testors dull-coat. Would this cause problems?
Finally, I have a bandai R2 (dome painted Testors metallic silver, body not painted) and was going to (1) apply decals using Micro Sol/Micro Set, (2) use Pledge Multi-care floor finish as a gloss coat, (3) use testors dull coat to remove some gloss. Will this cause problems with the decals where Micro Sol/Set was used?
I'm going to experiment as best as possible with decals on sprues, but I do not have any "junk" Bandai models to test with (other than sprues) and I have read that Bandai plastic can be problematic with certain paints.
The Model Master Grey Primer and Testors Chrome will be used on an AMT Batmobile kit. I live in a small town and hobby shop is an hour away. I had girlfriend grab primer on her shopping trip and she picked up wrong brand. I can return it, but was hoping to get kit done this weekend if I can verify that mixing the two brands should be ok.
I know that's a load of info to cipher through. If anyone has insight or experience with any of this thanks in advance.
