Metal Surface Prep for Scale Modellers

Mr.Hobby GSI-MP242 Metal Primer SF242 is intended to improve paint adhesion on metal components of RC kits. It helps create a stable base so paint bonds more consistently to metal parts.

Strong Base for Paint

The formula provides a keyed surface that supports even coverage of subsequent paint layers. Applying this primer to metal parts reduces the chance of peeling and improves overall durability of the finish.

Practical Application Advice

Make sure metal is clean and free of oils before priming. Use a fine brush or airbrush to lay down thin coats and allow each coat to dry thoroughly prior to painting. Proper prep delivers a smoother end result.

Is this primer suitable for painted metal repairs?

Yes, it can be used to re-prime bare metal areas before repainting, as long as the surface is cleaned and prepared first.

Do I need special thinners to use it in an airbrush?

Check the product directions for thinning recommendations. Generally, thin to a workable consistency for your airbrush and test on scrap metal first.

Can I sand the primer before topcoating?

Light sanding after the primer fully cures can help smooth the surface and improve topcoat adhesion, but avoid aggressive sanding that removes the primer layer.

What prep should I do for small metal parts?

For small components, clean with a mild solvent, handle with gloves to avoid fingerprints, and use thin, controlled primer coats for best coverage.
