A little Primer Help?

[Diamond]

Okay I had a thread book marked where someone had been playing with the I believe Rustolum Plastic Primer and it is not there anymore.  So anyone prime with that and if not what do you prime with?  Clonecommander has several customs coming up to that point shortly as do I.  I know can hand gesso em but was hoping to find a good spray primer that works with the pony plastic.

Hubby uses this one for R/C cars.  He says it would work for ponies, but I have yet to try it out.

That's what I've primed with in the past. I know at some point I made a thread talking about it but it was old arena.... aha, here http://www.mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=241959.html

I love this stuff. I've used it on all sorts of FBRs because up until now I didn't own an airbrush. I feel like this stuff allowed me to get the smoothest finish possible and the work held up really well.

I can tell you that the bait pony I used in that experiment was later haired and the paint really wasn't damaged at all by hairing (any more than nay other FBR.) I had it sitting around for about a year and it did not get tacky or damaged. I ended up selling the haired bait at the ohio pony meet in 2011 so don't know what happened to it after that.

I've used Liquitex primers as well.  They work nicely and go on smooth.

Ry thanks, shall look into that stuff, ND - yes that was the thread, rebook marked it.  I think that is what is sitting downstairs.  If not might pick up the stuff Ry hubby said.  ViciousJupiter, thanks shall check those out as well.

Trying hubby's stuff on a failed dye job.  I have already discovered that I need spray painting practice.  I figure if it works, great.  If not, I will create Patchwork pony.  Either way, I win.

I use MSC flat for priming and sealing. I would LOVE to see your results with this as I really do not like paying an arm and leg for sealant!!! It would be so nice to pick it up locally too!!

Cool beans, give me a shout in shout when you are done.  I here you on the spray paint practice, I am so used to hand priming I am sure it shall take me a pony or two to get it.

I was planning on using Krylon indoor/outdoor primer on the Blind Bag pony. I guess I was just assuming it would work... I've been using it on customs (non MLP) for years.

Here are some other ponies that I used the rustoleum plastic primer on
