orcsoul Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 I was looking for a page exactly like that on their site... let me guess it was rediculously easy to find and staring me right in the face? I just made it impossible to find by assuming it was cleverly hidden? Thanks a lot though, that was exactly what I needed to see was what part numbers are attached to which product.

vutpakdi Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I mostly use DAP 1689 (White Sandable Primer) and DAP 1692 (Gray Hot Rod Sandable Primer). The Gray Hot Rod is a dark gray, a bit darker than MSP Stormy Gray. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcsoul Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Why not go for the black if you don't mind my asking? How different does the paint come out with their black vs their grey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vutpakdi Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Because I wanted a primer coat that was dark, but not black. I haven't tried the black. I don't use the Gray primer too often, but I do use it occasionally. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcsoul Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 ok well correct me if i'm wrong here... a lighter (white) base is going to give you brighter and more vibrant colors, where as a darker (black) is going to give you much darker colors that need some extra layering probably and look a little shaded? Guessing grey would be somewhere in between, maybe closer to black than white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vutpakdi Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Yes, white leads to brighter colors while the dark gray leads to darker and more muted colors. These days, when I prime white, I also have a tendency to apply a "brown magic wash" to partially darkline the mini. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcsoul Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Nother question.. as far as the RMS metallic paints go.. should i have a dedicated brush for those since they have little flakes of shiney stuff in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madog Barfog Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Not if you wash them sufficiently. However, you do want to change your water after using metallics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artists Wren Posted July 30, 2007 Artists Share Posted July 30, 2007 Some folks recommend having two pots of water when using metallics and rinsing metallics off in one and non-metallics off in the other, to avoid contaminating non-metallic paint mixes with flakes from the water. I have heard of people who have brushes just for metallics (or more they won't use their really good brushes with metallics). I use my top brushes with metallics and haven't noticed any problems, but I paint a relatively small amount of metallics and clean thoroughly after each paint session.

orcsoul Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Nother question (will they ever end??!?!?) ... What's the difference between the RMS brush on primer 9108 and the brush on primer(s) 18073 (white) and 9214 (black) ? Are 9108 and 18073 the same white primer? Or is there some subtle difference that warrants an entirely separate identifier? The 9108 product detail page leaves much to be desired.

vutpakdi Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The 9XXX series are from the Master Series line. The 18XXX series is the Pro Paint line. I highly doubt that the formulations are identical. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
