Can anyone recommend a good quality primer to use on metal hulls?
I've finally got the interest together again to start rebuilding my P IV.
Thanks
Kye

Hallo KYE, Whenever I need a decent acrylic primer I wander off to HALFORDS or any autoshop and buy a 500ml rattle can, get home and swap the spray head for one from a humbrol rattle can and save a small fortune. shaun

Good Morning,
I have had good success with Tamiya's light grey primer. Drys quickly, coats very well and is great for shadowing before the base color. Get a good product like any of those listed here and you will do well.
regards,
Painless
