Primer Woes

Been fighting with primer these last few weeks. It has been impossible to get the spray smooth and flat. Even after wet 400 grit sandpaper and "socking" my models come out with a rough texture. After doing some reading I came to the realisation that its just to warm outside for priming. Plus my technique is a little off, I have been spraying too far away from the model. The other night was a lot colder so at 8:30pm I was out in the yard priming!

Results:

Yay for Rust-Oleum Painters Touch! My foal came out so much smoother and I haven't even socked him yet. He still needs another coat or two of primer (the can ran out) but I can't wait to start painting.

Epic fail for Krylon. Maybe it was a bad batch because I know people love this primer but I could not get it smooth. In the photo he looks alright after an hour of sanding and socking but he is so rough in parts of his mane and tail. He will be stripped and I will try yet again with Painters Touch this time.
