Frax Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Whatever paint you get it will be mixed at some point so should not matter, just get a good quality etch primer to make sure that the top coat sticks. Its all in the prep work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 When I asked a similar question someone kindly pointed me to a really comprehensive post on painting by Les Brock from july 2013. Cheers Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 and etch priming is often done wrong. if you put a thick coat of etch on it wont do its job. a very light even coat is all you need, then normal primer on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
