Painting Grey Primer with a brush

[paul ludlow]

I normally spray a light coat of halfords rattle can primer, on a warm/warmish day in my garage, just to give an even flat matt surface for the colour coats to adhere to. Followed, if it is a loco, by a coat of humbrol rattle can number 15 dark blue acrylic (my chosen company colour). All other colours are applied by brush (mostly acrylic, matt) & finished off with gloss/satin/matt varnish as necessary. I have had very few problems with the humbrol range. The only noticeable difference is the more recently purchased tubs don't cover as well & require more coats.
