Last primer coat advice

[s.vannostrand at kodak.com]

Scott,
That's a good idea.  Silver has excellent coverage properties.  But, like 
you suggest, everyone seems to feel that Concept paints have very good 
opacity so just painting the design over an inconsistent base should be 
OK.  This would be great if it works out, and it might, but I want to 
hedge my bet a bit.

I'm thinking of following your advice with a little twist.  I might just 
spray the white areas of the paint design first and then spot spray more 
white on any area where all the primer came off.  This will eliminate the 
drastic contrast changes and turn them into changes of just more 
white/less white.  If the opacity is as good as people say, this should be 
sufficient and light.

Lance,
You don't use primer to get a uniform color. You would be better off to
spray  an over reduced base color like silver if you want a uniform color,
As long as your surface is filled and smooth (thats what primer does)
putting more primer on is doing nothing but adding weight. Frankly what I 
do
is just mask out the design and spray each color overlapping each by 1/8".
This way you don't need to spray a base, It saves a little bit of weight.
