Alclad White Primer/Filler
Anyone had this happen? I usually use Tamyia spraycan primer which holds the surface like a limpet, but thought I'd try the proper Alclad primer before hitting it with Alclad Dull Aluminium. Tamyia masking tape pulled off the primer + topcoats in a few spots. Now I have some patching to do. I also note in a few spots some of the Alclad Dull Alum seems to be sticking to the tape a bit. Went and got some low-tack tape from Bunnings to try to reduce future risk.
I've done a bit more reading on this. Seems a few others have had adherence problems with the Alclad primer, and the issue seems to be the type of plastic! On some it is bullet-proof, on others (like my Fouga apparently) it adheres poorly.
I'm not that keen to strip it all off and start again, so will sand and patch the spots where it lifts, this time using decanted Tamiya spraycan primer through my airbrush, and hope for the best.
I hope other sections of paint don't j
