So I got my quinjet in the mail today and gave it a good couple coats with gray mini primer. The coats seemed to cover the surface ok but there are little granules all over the surface that come off with a little abrasion. What did I do wrong and how should I fix it? |

Did you use Krylon Fusion? Dan |

I used Armory gray primer. |

If weather is to hot spray can dry slightly before covering the surface! John Treadaway had this issue recently with his infantry giving him a very grainy surface. I've also had it when can pressure had dropped and was just peppering the surface with dry globs of paint! A gentle rub down on the flat surfaces with a very fine grit glass paper should get most of the dust off without damaging it. But try with a wrough dry rag first as this worked on my figures but not my buildings! Hope you can fix it but its a bit of a issue when it happens as its the detail that really suffers I'm afraid!

I had that issue with both gray and black Armory primer and that is why I stopped using it. I have two batches of Somalis that are much more 'textured' than the rest of their 'verse. |

As I mentioned back on page 1 of this thread (my May 26, 2013 post) I am willing to part with a few beauties: TMP link Thanks, Dan |

Love that HAWK repaint. That Raven looks like a good possibility as well. |

I have one of those Hawks! 37 years old, hell, that's older than a lot of people here! I found the Eagle kit going for $18 USD USD, a lot cheaper than most places that have them. |

Get a new toothbrush with hard bristles, give it a good scrub. A lot of paint will also come off mind you. |

Found that Quinjet on e-bay for $15.50 USD. A great bargain indeed as I didn't find anything near that good. The closest price was around &20 and the most expensive at a whopping $89.99 USD and no, it wasn't the Lego version. Pricing ran the gamut with most claiming how rare it is. I'm thinking this will go to the Japanese as it makes a perfect delivery vehicle for landmates and hardsuits. |

Any other primer reccommendations? Krylon Fusion doesn't seem to be available here. |

Dunno what's in your neck of the woods. By the way, here's a favorite long-lost image I finally found again today:
