Is Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer-G Brushable?

[TheModeler]

So,I was at Hobby Lobby the other day to pick up some stuff.They were out of the Testors Spray Enamel Primer,or any other primer other than a Tamiya product.It was in a bottle similar to the Extra Thin Cement.It looked like this,but it had a G next to the name:

https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-40-Liquid-Surface-Primer/dp/B000EK8IPU/ref=pd_lpo_60_t_0/146-5587033-2932358?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000EK8IPU&pd_rd_r=eb2daab7-3dcc-4a0a-9d84-c1c1085a76a6&pd_rd_w=AP0w8&pd_rd_wg=3XMZ7&pf_rd_p=16b28406-aa34-451d-8a2e-b3930ada000c&pf_rd_r=QVSPH3BGK3CN057PAD2E&psc=1&refRID=QVSPH3BGK3CN057PAD2E

I figured I could practice brush painting primer for a day(It was 6 bucks),but when I got home,I looked reviews on Amazon and they said that it works best with an airbrush.Well,if i’m darned(I don’t have an airbrush)!But is it still brushable?

Thanks,

Max

Brushable? Sure, but be aware that this stuff is pretty thick. In fact, I use it to fill fine seams or to build up texture. It’s pretty similar to the heavier grades of Mr. Surfacer or dissolved putty rather than the consistency of a “regular” primer.

The Tamiya primer in the spray can is the better choice if you don’t have an airbrush.

I would’ve bought it if Hobby Lobby had it in stock,but just too darn expensive to order!

I don’t know your situation,but Scalehobbyist isn’t outrageous,but you want to order it when you order a kit or a bunch of other supplies then the shipping cost stays lower.

I did hear that they have a flat rate of up to 9 dollars shipping,but I meant “Order” by other things.

You pay S&H no matter where you order from. For 4-8 days shipping, that’s not too bad. if you want it quicker, $14 is what it’ll cost you. Some places charge you a rate up to a certain amount. I wouldn’t fret over $9 for shipping. Scalehobbyist is very reasonable priced than most places.

I just said I do know that scalhobbyist is very reasonable,with only 9 dollars shipping,I was just going to wait 'till I get a lot of items in my cart to make the shipping worth it.
