After "washing" plastic, Plan on brush painting....Would brushing on a primer be advisable before applying color of choice?
Planning on tracking down Tamiya bottle paits....

Next question(s)
In going with Tamiya, what colors would I want to use for Chevy v-8's, Ford flathead V-8's...or even the Custom Chrome engine in the '34 Ford P/U kits, once it's "de-chromed?
Not looking for a specific shade, just something in general....

Was given some unexpected $$ yesterday......so time to buy some paint.....for to brush on......

TIA
