Primer Poop
Can someone tell me how to remove primer from the body and chassis without sanding the whole thing. It appears someone (ME) didnt wash these properly and the primer crazed like crazy on my Galaxie. Please save me from throwing it back into the box.

Depends what type of primer but sanding would be the best way, sorry dude.

Testors ELO will remove it, if its Tamiya primer anyway.
I just got 2 containers from Frontline Hobbies, you can order online.

Re: Primer Poop
Sounds like you've got a bigger problem as crazing shouldn't happen from not washing the body etc, what primer are you using??

Brake fluid. Unless its resin.
Then a nice strong caustic soda solution.

Re: Primer Poop
Its a cheap automotive primer from bunning's. Which i've not had problems before with. Maybe cause its an old AMT kit its abit softer and the plastic didn't like it at all. What a PITA!!!!
Well Paul i did spray it on a warmish dy and i may not (read: probably didn't:) shae the can enough.
Well i guess i better buy some more sand paper.

Re: Primer Poop
I'd put the answer down to shitty primer!! Grab some Tamiya Primer and you won't have any drama's and you'd be surprised how many car's one little can will do. It's not cheap but neither are the kits were painting so I'd rather do it right the 1st time. HTH

Re: Primer Poop
White knight primer?
That's all I use (except for Tamiya on red plastic).
It crazes for me if I get carried away and put it on too heavy as I am getting to the bottom of the can. I suspect this is because at that point there is less pigment and more thinners

Re: Primer Poop
Yeah it is Zen, maybe i didn't shake it enough before spraying, i didnt try a test piece first and yeah i did try to put it on abit heavy cause i wanted to do some mods and use it as a guide.

Re: Primer Poop
If the primer has crazed like crazy I'd say the plastic itself has been given a bit of a hammering. Good Luck.
