Primer, Sealer Recommendations

[drod26]

Looking for advise on what primer and sealer to use for sculpts. What are you fellows using and how do you like it.

The primer I use is in the paint set I own from reaper miniatures simply called brush on primer and black primer.

For Sealer, I use testors dullcote and Games Workshop 'Ardcoat

For priming resin I like to use Mr. Surfacer 500. Sealing I use testors Dullcote.

For sealer, Testor's Dullcote. I recently tried it for the first time and it worked great!

Full strength Dullcoat Lacquer. Acrylic gloss Varnish for the eyes, lips. I also use the Varnish as my primer, often followed by a thin layer of white.

thank you guys for all the great suggestions. Can I get these primers from Michaels Craft Store?

Testors DullCote is carried at Michaels in the plastic model section. Mr Surfacer can be found at hobby shops or online.

Im not even sure you need a Primer for sculpts. I never prime mine, just paint right on the surface. Just make sure they are cleaned first. And i use Dull coat as well.
