Actually on that issue what you want to do is use dish soap and a tooth brush and clean it really good before painting, after taht since we are using red and its a very translucent color you want to use a wash of white mixing your white paint with water on a half and half ratio so it covers the figure so youll have a nice base for the red to catch on to after that paint adhesion should not be a problem.
I use Testors Modelmaster Acryl paint which I find easier to use than tamiya it thins out better and feels less rubbery |
