I enjoy your videos and always learn something. I completely agree with the comment on mixing ratios with Mission Models paints. They can be temperamental and that ratio is key. Someone gave me a tip to store the MM polyurethane bottle in the refrigerator and it won't dry out and harden as quickly. (As opposed to storing the bottle at room temperature) When ready to use, take it out of the refrigerator, let it warm to room temperature, and you're ready to use. Then put the bottle back into the refrigerator.

Fantastic video, very explaining and relaxed style just like our hobby should be !!! Please allow me a question: at how much psi you airbrushed the primer ? Greetings from Greece

[@MontyGumby]

Did you explain what primer/priming is ?

[@michaelsmith4531]

Is it better to airbrush prime on the outer surfaces so you can have better control on how much goes on. Or is rattle cans just as good? Thanks for the videos .

[@megahobby5042]

Airbrushing is definitely preferable, though you can certainly spray from a rattle can
