Hi Edd
Priming your model will give a nice even coat for the top coats of paint to adhere to.

Yes. I normally use a red oxide primer before painting the main colour. The red oxide is the same colour used for realistic tanks to prevent corrosion.

I have been using this primer for two years on both HL and Tamiya tanks without any problems. It also has strong adhesion to your metal parts.

Hope this help.
