Hi, i have a question about Vallejo black primer. for what i see, at first it peeled really bad. did it work better the second time, with different pressure settings?

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. The Vallejo primer, was very bad I must say. I used the grey/sand on the my Bird of Prey and it did the same thing. In the end I did not reapply after sanding it back. I just sprayed the metal colour straight on with light coats at low psi. To be honest I don't think the gloss black undercoat makes a lick of difference. I know some don't bother with it. The Vallejo's have good results but like most metal finishes, "Results may vary"... I might give the AK's a go next... or Alclad if I'm feeling brave

thanks. alclad can give really nice results. masking can be a problem. black bright primer makes a difference with Alclad, but that is just my opinion 🙂
