I havent used the Pylox gray. I didnt even know that there was a gray Pylox primer! ;D I was only aware of the Rust colored one. Bosnt is acrylic epoxy and it works for me. Dont overspray though. The finish will be really thick!
Also, do not foget to wash your kit or at least apply some alcohol to remove unwanted elements that will cause the primer or paint to chip of! ;D

Dude, the primer is used for surfacing so that your paint will adhere more to the plastic. The Matte White color is already a base or main color. The primer will give you a rough feel while the matte will have a smooth finish depending on your spray technique. ;D

well pwede na rin siguro? but the thing is primer only serves as the first coat and is usually followed up with a second coat, the base coat... its the layer of paint that you really wanna show off. think of it this way... you wear socks to put on a pair of shoes right? same thing, you spray on primer so you can apply the base paint. but since white na rin yun primer siguro pwede na as is?

I guess just the primer will do but if you want to smoothen it up, you can apply some clear coat on it. ;D

I have a question for the pros. How do you paint missile pods, 'y know those pods with red dots in it. Do you paint it whole with red first then paint black detailing on the background or is it the other way around?
