I am having difficulty with applying SuperPrimer. At first I was using a 0.4mm needle (Harder & Steenbeck Evolution double-action) with 20psi. I was getting a very rough, almost like sandpaper finish. I could even wipe some of it off with my finger. I tried increasing pressure to 30psi, then back to 25psi, then even down to 14psi. None of that seemed to help. In the research I did, I found they called it "dusting" and it is supposedly the de-atomization of the paint. Here, others suggested I move in closer. This did appear to help, but I still ended up with an orange peel finish. I also found in having to deliver enough paint to start flow, I sometimes applied too much to a spot or even ended up with spider webs. Also, the coverage was so narrow, I ended up with a very splotchy, uneven coverage. Next, I tried moving to a 0.6mm needle. This provided much broader coverage, so application seemed smoother, but the runs in spots became worse. The orange peel was still there and some slight dusting appeared. I am able to apply other paints and primers evenly. For example, I've used Mr. Hobby Surfacer with consistent results. I've also used both Vallejo, MIG, and AK primers with success. Obviously, I need to adjust my technique to use SuperPrimer successfully. At this point, I think I am changing too many variables, but I don't know what to try next.
@ScaledDownCustomsАй бұрын
I initially also had problems with the SuperPrimer dusting on me as well. I have found that I get considerably less dusting when I thin the primer with his thinner and use less pressure.

Hi, great video, thank you. I have a question, I didn’t get it in the video… Agree with you that dremel is too fast for polishing… Could you tell what speed is good for polishing model cars?…. Thank you.
@ScaledDownCustomsАй бұрын
I don't have a speed but if I remember right, the Dremel type tools start spinning at 5000 RPM so anything less than that would be better.

I have not had the alcohol damage any parts yet, but I always suggest testing unknown processes. Just put a few drops on a part and you will know right away if it is going to work or not as it should start reacting with the paint right away.

i am here as i just tried to restore an old custom built kit from oh, 30 years ago. i have a new rotary tool, and a Dremel accesories kit , i used to use with my work drill. well, i put the buffing tool on and ouch, ,,huge scratch right in the center of the,wide , no pillars windshield. the kit is a late 1980s corvette mako shark, it has this huge windshield, so like a knuckle head i had to start there,,any hoo, i converted it to a rear engine , and also a side winder engine mounting., loads of custom made, and painting , plumbing, and massive engineering into this build, so i hope to learn how to restore all things before jumping into a royal mess, next time, thank you, cheers from italy, robert

This was a left-over Gravity Colors USA paint which is out of business now. There are a lot of really great paint manufacturers that have been coming onto the market lately and most are premixed colors and airbrush ready.

I was kinda wondering about the mirrors being so fragile and creating an obstruction into the tight spots around it. Would it be better to leave them till later, or is it better to have them on for a better final finish? Just thinking about the final finish and being able to sand without knocking the mirrors off. Still kinda new (new as in I don't have an air brush and I painted by hand previously. And also been about 20 years and getting back into the hobby and planning to spray rather than brush now)
@ScaledDownCustoms3 ай бұрын
Welcome back to the hobby. I have done the mirrors both ways. Glueing prior to paint will give a better bond but does present access problems for sanding and polishing.

Could always cut those seats out from the base and refit them later. A lot of effort to do it discretely/accurately without damaging the exposed floor, but might be worth the extra time?

From one scale modeler to another, thank you for this video. I have been using Scale Finishes for several years now and it has been my go-to. I only ever used the Enamel paints and clears. I had a hard time with the Super Primer but now with your video explaining the best results you received, it’s achieving great results!No more Duplicolor primer in a rattle can @$10 a pop. I applaud how in-depth you were talking about each spoon and adjustments you made. With the clears you used, did you use any of Jameston’s hardener? I’ve only ever used his clear and enamels with the hardener and really enjoy the results. Minimal to no orange peel I have achieved.

While I see that you filled the pin ejector marks on the inside of the fenders you didn't seem to put bottoms on the electronic boxes mounted on top of the fenders. I would think that is a more glaring flaw in that portion.
