Robthepom Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) hello guys Does anyone have advice or expereance in painting large clear parts, i am currently making ZM 1/32 Horten My thoughts were...wash the parts in soapy water....prime both sides...paint top coat The reason I ask is because i sprayed a small clear part and the paint didnt see to adhere very well thanks Edited August 26, 2018 by Robthepom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Give them a coating of Tamiya TS-13 clear laquer. Then prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 so that just puts a coating that the main paint can stick to, right? Which is good because i have a couple cans in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Yep, thats it. The Tamiya dries quickly, but give it a couple of hours. Edited August 26, 2018 by Gerhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I say a good primer, I have not had any problems with Stynylrez sticking to clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I prime with Mr. Surfacer 1500 black. Don't forget to paint the inside of the main fuselage parts prior to assembling. Much can be seen through the openings for the main gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
