Posted: Sun May 26, 2019 2:01 pm Post subject: Painting over yellow or red |
|
|
I know this has been discussed before. Just can’t find the post.
I want to paint a yellow and red, as well as, a green monogram nascar body white. I do not want bleed thru. Should I do a good coat of white or gray primer, or paint silver, then a white primer?
Thank you for any suggestions. |

Everyone says silver will block those plastic colors. |

I just gave my red S&H Torino a silver (Krylon Premium Metallic Chrome) undercoat. Will wait a couple days, sand it a bit and then coat with white primer. Will give an update at that point, but I'm not seeing any red bleeding through the silver now.
I'm wondering if it's the metallic content of the paint that acts as a shield to block the bleeding pigment. _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |

Ronsury I have used Silver Krylon or Silver Plasticote (usualy on sale somewhere around me) for years and never had a problem with bleed thru. Also I use a primer comparable to the color I plan on using.[/quote] _________________ If you bought it a trucker hauled it.

I agree with halfbreed on the Krylon and/or Plasticote. Have had both work great. One I would avoid though is the Testor's chrome silver. For whatever reason I've found it to be too thick for an undercoat and will obliterate small details like rivets or window trim channels.

How about Tamiya AS-12 “bare metal silver”? Asking because i have some upcoming builds with yellow bodies and have a small stash of the AS-12. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

Make sure you white prime first, then silver, (you can get a big can of duplicolor metallic silver at autozone). Then white prime again and then your top coat gloss white. The 76 torino I just finished had a red body and I still had a little bleed through on the hood but the big decal covered it. I don't think I put enough silver on the hood. so make sure you get plenty on yours. |

WOW - just today I white primed over the silver coat on my red S&H Torino and only the HOOD bled through...weird. _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |

You must have went light on the silver like I did on the hood. I don't know why I didn't go ahead and shoot some more silver before I shot the gloss white. Senior moment I guess. |
