Krylon Primer & Krylon White

yet how I'm going to do it. It's a 1997 Bandai plastic model. I guess I can't use chemicals for this job.>>

I don't know that bandai kit plastic is any different than any other, so... Give a piece of sprue a good spraying with oven cleaner (cheap stuff is fine) and see what happens. If there are no ill effects, soak the painted parts well and let them set overnight, then give them another shot. The paint will come off with a light scrubbing with an old toothbrush.

Thanks. Oven cleaner is something I haven't tried before. I have done the toothbrush thing though. I hope it won't saturate the plastic & require lots of time to air out.

The primer looks awesome when it goes on. It was very inspiring. It had me wishing that this model was flat gray it looks so good. I can't use it though, if it's going to reduce the durability of that awesome white paint.

The white stuff takes a lot of sanding to keep orange peel down, but it seems to be worth it. I'm definitely going to keep trying to forge ahead with this model using Krylon white.

That's the weirdest thing... primer making the paint that goes with it less durable.

I haven't tried the primer but the colour coats with Krylon have been very good. It's allowed me to expand the range of shades in my cars and the white hasn't yellowed...yet.

I meant 1000 grit. I bought 1500 and 1000. 1000 is the one I've been using between coats. 400 grit for some stuff, but 1000 is doing the job for almost everything.
