Primer for Ferrari Red
Primer for Ferrari Red
All,
I'm about to paint a 1:43 Tameo Ferrrari 156/85. Currently it's in flatted Tamiya fine surface primer grey.
I'll be using Tamiya Racing Red.
Simple question: What's the best primer colour? I've got some Tamiya white primer too.
Cheers.

Re: Primer for Ferrari Red
I have used Tamiya white primer on my 1/20 Ferrari and was very satisfied with the result. Other users have suggested Tamiya pink primer but I don't wanna buy another one which I will use only for Ferraris so I will stick 100% with my Tamiya white primer.

Re: Primer for Ferrari Red
I've used pink as a primer and it didn't affect the color. This was with Splash paints and the red for the F2003 GA came out way too dark.

Re: Primer for Ferrari Red
I’ve used Tamiya pink primer and really liked it. Where I find it most useful is where I’m trying to seal/prime a red plastic body. In that type of situation the number of primer coats is significantly reduced.

Re: Primer for Ferrari Red
You may want to prime then paint the car gloss white then apply your red coat over that.

Re: Primer for Ferrari Red
I've never tried it myself but I've heard a light coat of yellow works very well under red..

Thanks all, I used Tamiya white primer, flatted. Then Tamiya Ferrari red spray can, decanted into the airbrush:
I’ll leave it to harden until the weekend, then polish with Tamiya compounds and get some decals on.
