Brush-on primer questions

[Gree]

Hello. I have recently been thinking of using some brush-on paint primer. Namely, I’ve acquired Pro-Acryl brush-on primer. I have a few questions before I start using it. Would there be any safety hazards when using this sort of brush-on primer? Would you need a respirator mask for this sort of brush-on primer? Or would that not be required for this sort of paint product?

 

I have done some research on the internet, but I haven’t found a clear answer to that question. I don’t think so, but I want to double check for health reasons before I do anything. The Pro Acryl brush-on primer should be a water-based acrylic. 

 

I would appreciate any insight from hobbyists who have used this sort of brush-on primer.

If it's just from their regular paint line, then no further steps required vs. what you do for regular hand painting.

Thank you for the reply.

 

The brush-on primer that I purchased is this Black Primer. It is included as part of the Primer paint line. I don't think it is part of their regular paint line, or am I misunderstanding your meaning?

I just meant they do Hobby Paints, not automotive or whatever, that's all

 

I just read a bit about it and shake the ever loving crap out of it first and expect to still do multiple coats.

 

I remember trying GWs brush on primer a while back and it felt basically like a wash, super thin, barely covered, but I left it at two coats, just enough to make sure it was everywhere and never had a problem with it.

One thing I would say is don't use your best brush for priming, one a size or two up of what you usually paint with that has already seen some use would be fine.

Absolutely, I use the M Shade Brush
