Over the past few weeks I've used a couple different colors of Testors Model Master sprays.
For priming mostly Star Wars Legion, I used their Light Gull Gray and their standard flat gray primer. I also primed a GW plastic model with the gray primer.
Funny thing is that the Light Gull Gray was flawless, left a totally smooth finish on the surfaces of the Star Wars Legion AT-ST model, as well as other vehicles. The gray primer worked flawlessly on the GW plastic as well.
But a strange thing happened when I was priming my T-47 Air Speeder. When I primed the bottom of the model with the gray primer it was perfectly smooth. But when I was also spraying the top of the model at the same time I got this very fine surface texturing. What makes it weird is that I was literally priming the entire model at the same time and just flipped it over to do both sides.
Can't be because of temp. or humidity, otherwise the whole model would have had the texturing I would think. Can't be a clogged nozzle because again it would have affected the whole model!
Can't figure out for the life of me why the top of the same model would come out with a fine texture in the spray finish but the bottom of the model's finish would be smooth, and during the same priming session! I'm wondering if it has something to do with the kind of plastic that FFG uses for their SWL, just a wild guess.
Here's a pic. of the finished airspeeder where you can see the texture. It's not a huge deal in terms of the finished model . I was still able to paint and detail it. But that one glitch just bugged me:

Anyone else ever experienced this oddity with Testors spray primers?
