Tru Color paint on Resin Freight Cars

Tim
Group,
Question for you all. I’m painting a Yarmouth resin car and going to be using Tru Color paints. This is my first time using Tru Color on a train car. Would you guys recommend priming the car first? Thanks Tim Alund |

Definitely I us a rattle can of fine car primer Trucolor will not stick to resin without a good primer otherwise it’s good paint. Paul Doggett. England 🏴 On 11 Jul 2020, at 20:42, Tim via groups.io <Atoolman2@...> wrote: |

I had a huge failure with Tru-color paint on a custom project that wound up costing me a lot of money. Tamiya Fine Surface Primer is a great choice, the tru-color primer is not worth bothering with, in my experience Pierre Oliver www.elgincarshops.com www.yarmouthmodelworks.com On 7/11/20 3:42 p.m., Tim via groups.io wrote:

I keep both the Tamiya red oxide and light grey primer handy and use before any rolling stock painting. I have a bin of Tr-Color on hand but these days use it and PBL Star Brand for matching to Vallejo acrylics usually Vallejo Model Color for hand brushing. One color I have yet to match is the PBL Star Brand SP-UP Dark Olive to represent the SP color Dark Olive in Japan for passenger equipment. I don't do much passenger these days but when I do out comes the PreVal sprayer.
For a couple of cars both plastic and resin, the Tamiya red oxide was close enough to the color I wanted that I just sprayed the car a second time and used that as the final coat before on to the Future and decalling.

Hi; already we have had the the universal opinion of yes for the use of primer on resin before a Tru-Color coat. Decades ago, I tried my 1st (and last) attempt to paint AccuPaint on an un-primered resin box car. The paint fell off in sheets! I wondered at that time if this would be a useful idea for making scale sized thickness canvas tarps! -Andy Carlson Ojai CA Group, Question for you all.

Scott, I use their surfacer but often just grab a can of One of their light grays. Seems to work fine,
