Model Railroading > Paint coverageDate: 04/24/24 22:02 Paint coverage Author: CPR_4000 Any advice on how to get good coverage when spraying red, yellow, or orange? No airbrush, I'm using spray cans.

Seems using those would cause problems covering them with the top coat. Always liked grey primer when painting full scale items.

Not cheap, but it covers well and dries quickly. Date: 04/25/24 09:53 Re: Paint coverage Author: PHall Silver works great as a primer, mostly because it will cover anything. And I'm talking about flat silver or "aluminium" not chrome silver.
