• ORANGE PLASTIC BLEED: Monogram '69 Judge--somebody here shot Tamiya Silver Leaf? Real Silver? said it worked *NM*
  • I've never done it myself but have seen silver, also aluminium mentioned as "sealers" over red & other shades of plastic. *NM*
  • What color are you trying to paint it? *NM*
    • Splash Paints Verdoro Green Poly over their Dark Grey Surfacer *NM*
      • I'm thinking between the dark gray primer and Verdoro Green, it should work out *NM*
  • The few times I did it, I used platinum gray Duplicolor with a quick blast of "sealer primer" on top of that. I try to avoid kits molded in red/orange/yellow and look for another issue in white or gray *NM*
  • Depends on the final color, really. I would try the mild 'standby' automotive primers first like Plastikote T-235 as close to the finish color as you can get
