What color primer should I use?
I’m working on a model of a Lamborghini Countach. The kit is molded in white. I plan on painting the car red.
Should I use grey primer? Or would a different color produce a better finish?
This depends on the “look” you want to achieve, and as another person answering the question has mentioned, the type of paint plays a part. In general however:
By using a white primer, the paint colors used will tend to be bright and stand out. The paint will also take on a deeper color as more layers of the same color are used.
Many modelers use a gray primer because the colors used over this will produce a more realistic look -most real cars have gray primer underneath the coats of paint. Using gray does mute or subdue the paint color to some degree.
Using a primer that is close to the color of your choice (in this case red) will allow for some mistakes -such as poorly coated areas- because the primer will “cover up” and mask the areas. This does not mean, however, that the finished color will necessarily be nicer. At times it may also create more mistakes and missed areas because the primer color is so close to the paint color.
Just remember that whatever color primer you choose, it will more than likely take more than a single coat of paint to achieve the look you want -possibly two or three. Be sure to use several light coats of paint rather than a heavy one that may lead to drips, runs, and “pooling” of paint in recessed areas of your model.
Hope that helps in your decision.
