I’m having priming woes. I’ve tried Rustoleum Primer and Paint + primer. Both sort of ended up the same, slightly tacky and glossy. Was expecting the paint + primer to be better. VMC colours go on Ok but Tamiya run really bad. Would do a coat of Testors dullcoat over them help? I figured that would stop the tacky feel and make them matte.

So it’s best to soak in Simple Green and start again? I do like the feel of painting over primer but (the bones are very glossy without anything) but it sounds like I should start over.

Well given this I’m going to try soak one in Simple Green, cover one in a matte brush on base, cover one in brush on gloss and spray one with dullcoat. Worst case I just buy a new lot.

Enola Gay-For-Pay posted:I had some that I primed before I read that you shouldn't do that, and I painted over the tacky primer. They came out fine, no difference from un-primed or primed with brush-on primer. I will warn you not to do what I did, and leave them sitting around for a while with a cat in the house before you paint them. I spent as much time picking cat hair off of them as I did painting them. I tried that with the first one but the Tamiya paint doesn’t seem to go down well. VMC is fine though.

Update on my priming disaster: I tried coating one in Testor's Dullcote and...it's fine now! Bit of a waste of dullcote but at least I'll save my 8 minis.
