Having a hard time tryin to figure out which paint type to go with. I'm building an RC rock crawler & most parts are brass with some aluminum & steel so the paints durability is very important! And yes, everything will be 2k clear coated! I also want to airbrush it all as the parts are small (1/24 scale) & automotive paints are too thick.
I have narrowed down the primers to either Mr Metal Primer, Tamiya Fine Surface Primer or SMS's Etch Primer followed by their Surface Primer.
Leaning towards the SMS due to the etching and the fact that it's meant for the airbrush.
So my 1st question, does anyone here have experience with SMS products & airbrushing onto metal?
If I go SMS, I would also use their lacquer paints so my 2nd question is would lacquer paint be more durable than say Wickeds Acrylic Polyurethane? Again this will all be 2k clear coated with 2 part NO-NAME clear.
Side note, I did buy Tamiya Fine Primer & 2 bottles of Spaz Stix paint with Createx 4011 & 4030 but am unsure of the adhesion & durability.
Opinions Please & Thank You in advance!
