So we all know how a much of a pain in the butt it is to paint white. It's even worse when you're brush painting it. There was no point in airbrushing a bunch of super small parts. So I used several different brands and types of white paint and none of them covered well or looked like crap. I thought about the Stynylrez primer. I brush painted the wing tip of my Jaguar paint test bed. It took two coats but it looks better than any of the others. Now to paint all the parts on the carrier with this.

Nice fix. Wonder why some colors are such a pain to brush?

If it works, why not? White primer as the base. How well does it brush on?

It's ok. Not great but it's better than most of the whites I tried.

I attached the island to the deck. Figured it would be easier when it comes to the gloss coat and decals if it was attached.
