I don't think he's going to be using primer .
He should .
Sheepy told him it's not needed .
ridiculous upon ridiculous
Relax… if you feel you need to prime because these "experts" says so, buy Rustoleum 2X grey primer. More bang for your Buck. Walmart has them.Okay thanks. Just now I painted an extra part of the F-15 without trying to thin the orange. The Lacquer paint dried without being thinned in record time. I can't wat to see how the part looks painted!!
OH NO!!! I forgot that I need primer! Should I buy black primer for the orange parts and grey for the rest of the Helicopter?
I'm greatly dissatisfied with the Orange. I might just leave the orange out. I just put a third coat on the wheel and we will see what that looks like... I realized that the wheel might be difficult to paint with all it's little indentations. Water cleans out the brush easily and I think I finally got the paint to the right consistency like milk like somebody said on here. I have another wheel and if I can't get this wheel to look good I will try the other side of the wheel without the indentations. I found that using a brush that's too big causes the paint to thin too much wasting the paint. I also found out NOT to use paper plates with a Thinner in the paint brcause the plate melts.
EDIT:: I wish it looked like the paint on the paper... THe green is just fine and covers well.
It's dry but the paint thins out across the top areas and gathers in the indentations.

No, you don't have to. I'm saying what I use because it works for me all these years.I got lost... am I supposed to be buying harddware store lacquer thinner?
EDIT:: somehwere on the interwebs there is a video of someone making their own thinning potion.
Today is my Sabbath. I will not work on this day of the week... Is this a real addiction If I looked here anyways breaking Gods rule?
I just globbed on the orange and was worried about brush marks but the marks went away. God is calling this 'work' so I better stop here and go rest.
