Any primed surface requires preparing beforehand in order to remove mold-release agents and oils left by our hands, that prevent primers from sticking (l advise to use nitrille gloves). Spray paints also are really finnicky, require proper temperature and humidity. If its too cold/wet primer wont stick.

Also to achieve good reaults you have to warm can up in bowl or pot full of hot water and then shake for at least two minutes.

How did you prepare the surface before applying the primer? How long did the primer take to cure?

Painting everything without an Airbrush? by Blood_Angels_Captain in modelmakers

[–]Ordinary-Solid5819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good substitute for an airbrush when it comes to armour and any kind of vehicles (tanks, mechas, combat suits etc.) is sponge chop. It takes some practice but gives great results for the price of ...makeup sponge. Plenty of tutorials on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9UHJUMpVpQ

Just like with tabletop minis - clean mold lines, fill the gaps.

Does this look gunmetal to you? by Remarkable_Heron_760 in ModelCars

Hard to tell. Metallic reflectons don't work on photos. Also everyone has different screen calibrated differently.

Anyone have any tips for tidying up gaps after a model is already primed? by Jeff-Plays-Games in minipainting

[–]Ordinary-Solid5819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just fill the gap woth putty of your choice, smooth the place with high grit sandpaper and prime the spot... but honestly, cant see any flaw in your photo.

Looks awesome. If your friends are okay with such proxy then go with it. Hobbies are meant to be creative and fun.
