How to prime scale models like a Pro
Like a Pro Series Perfect paint starts with perfect primer. In this episode of the How to Like a Pro series, I break down how to prime like a pro — the products I trust, how I thin them, and the key prep steps that lay the groundwork for a flawless finish. Here’s what I use: 🛠 Mr. Hobby Mr. Surfacer 500, 1000, and 1200 — depending on the job 🧪 Thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner for that ultra-smooth flow 🎯 Applied through a 0.3mm airbrush at around 15–20 PSI ⚠️ I cover the surface prep, ideal thinning ratios, and common mistakes to avoid This video is all about the setup and theory — no live spraying just yet. The full priming demo is coming in the next one. 🔜 Part 2 ("How to Spray Primer Like a Pro") coming soon — subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss it!
