I always use Tamiya's "Fine Surface Primer - Light Grey" under everything, but especially Tamiya paints, as I find they can react negatively to any contaminants (like skin oils, release agents, lubricating agents, etc.). Although a thorough wash can negate many of these, some are more persistent than others & the primer generally covers them & gives a great base for any paint you use.

Oh, & I generally use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as a thinning agent.

Agreed...I always prime .. acrylic paints have to have a primer..as Guy said ..needs something to stick too .

I think it would leave a lot of bubbles in the paint later!

Unless you're not a fan of IPAs.

Which is why I wrote the full name first.

If ya want to get that paint completely gone Ken mate..spray on oven cleaner..the non foaming is best ..it rips thru fresh paint..leaves nothing behind.
