For use on injection plastic kits a primer is necessary.
‘Regular ALCLAD’ is similar in strength to lacquer/cellulose car paints - injected polystyrene plastics frequently have areas which ALCLAD can craze.
High-Shine ALCLAD finishes require a glossy base coat.
The durable and versatile range of Alclad Metallic Lacquers are designed to be used on surfaces previously primed using any one of the Alclad Surface Primers. For ‘non-reflective’ finishes (ALC101 Aluminium etc.) Grey, White and/or Black Primer and Microfiller are recommended, whereas for reflective surfaces such as Chrome, Black Chrome and Airframe Aluminium, Gloss Black Base is the Recommended Primer. By following the instructions on the labels closely, unrivalled metallic finishes will be simple to achieve.
To ensure the high shine nature of the Alclad Metallic Lacquer is retained for the application of decals and weathering we recommend using Alclad Aqua Gloss Acrylic Varnish (particularly when working solvent based weathering products)
