Default RE: Red Oxide Primer Question


ORIGINAL: RSEA

Sorry, didn't have a chance to take any photos of what this horrible primer looks like..

After examining the parts this morning, I found that the crappy primer was just flaking off on my fingertips as I touched the parts. Little small round particles of the red primer on my fingers. To say that I made a mistake selecting this primer is an understatement. Major disappointment. As Charlie Sheen would say, "sucky, suck, suck".

I have all the parts soaking in Super Clean. I'm going to let them soak in there for several hours.. Hopefully I'll be able to get all of this worthless primer off of the metal parts without too much scrubbing. The only way this could have been any worse is if I had sprayed the entire tank with this stuff.

Now I need to find a decent, gray primer to repaint the parts with. Screw the red primer, I just want something that'll work and be compatible with the Tamiya acrylic top coats.

how did you make out you get new prime on yet
