use metalizer spray paint

Post by max142 »

I just bought a can of titanium metalizer, and I was wondering if I should lay down a coat of gloss black kinda like autoclad? I've never used before and would appreciate any advice.

If your are talking about Testor's Metalizer, then no, you don't need a primer coat. Metalizer paints are designed to be sprayed directly to bare plastic. Just make sure your surface is as free of blemishes as possible and clean everything with soap and water, you should be good to go.
