Troubleshooting
Primer appears clumpy or uneven
Ensure the bottle was shaken thoroughly before use. If using an airbrush, check for blockages and ensure the paint is properly thinned.
Paint not adhering well after priming
Make sure the surface was clean and free of grease before priming. Ensure the primer was applied in thin, even coats and allowed to dry completely.
Primer obscures fine details
Apply the primer in multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Reduce airbrush pressure if using that method and maintain a proper distance from the model.
Airbrush clogging during application
Dilute the primer further with airbrush thinner or flow improver. Clean the airbrush thoroughly with airbrush cleaner after use.
