t I meant to ask for is a primer to spray over bare metal..... not a
metallic colored primer.... sorry.
Something I could run through an airbrush, as opposed to buying a can of
spray paint primer. (Rustoleum comes to mind)

I generally primed with whatever the biggest color in the camo pattern
was (e.g., "Sherman Grey" or "MERDC Green") rather than a "metal
primer". Every coat you put on covers some detail, after all.

Hi everyone,
Anyone have any recommendations on a metal primer that can be sprayed
through
an airbrush? I usually get some (I believe it's Testors, but could be
mistaken) at the local Hobbytown, but the bottles are very small.....
Looked at Pep Boys (auto parts store) and they have a quart of primer,
it looke
like it can be thinned..... But it's $21 bucks a quart. If it would
work,
then fine, but if it wouldn't work through an airbrush, well......
That's a big chunk to just toss away.
Any ideas, I'm open to 'em. Gotta get moving before ECC.....
