I used 3 cans bht you could do with about 5 of everhthimg just to be safe. Any color primer's fine I'd say

When I sprayed mine white I used 3 tins of grey primer and 4 tins of white
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Unsure about what colour to go now I definitely know black is too dark against the star silver but not sure what colour to go too

I dont want to add to much colour as the griffin is going orange and I have orange detailing elsewhere but grapgite is definitely an option. Think im gonna have to have a go at photoshopping
