Painting white over grey primer

It is a hospital ship, the same Repose I’ve been working on forever. An employee in a model store told me that model from the 1950s are more frustrating than rewarding to build. I didn’t listen, but at least I’ve learned a lot! Now…

Rubbing down the primer? Please explain. I thought the idea of primer was to provide “tooth” for the final paint. Rubbing it down, which I assume means polishing, would seem to defeat the purpose.

I assume that you meant “re-coated” rather than “revolted”! Darned spell checkers!

I chose the pearl white paint because I didn’t want the model to look factory-new. Of course, I’m making so many errors that it’s going to look very war weary regardless of the paint I use!
