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.

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.

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.

What were the difficulties you were having with Superprimer? What did you change to solve it? I had bad dusting?
@ScaledDownCustomsАй бұрын
The only thing that seemed to help with the dusting for me was to thin the primer with his thinner.

Nice spray out. I’ve never used his primers or clears, but I really like his colors. I wish he offered them in 1 oz. Sizes. Most of my paint jobs are 1 off colors. I use 1/4 bottle then sit on the rest of the bottle.👍👍

Great tutorial! I am just getting back to airbrushing my models, I bought some scale finishes paint , House Of Kolor paints. Does that have to be mixed with a leveling thinner or are they ready to go ? Thanks.

Scale Finishes paints are airbrush ready right out of the bottle.

What do you clean your airbrush with after.
@ScaledDownCustoms6 ай бұрын
I use Acetone or Lacquer thinner and then follow that up with some Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner.
