I would use either 800 or 1000 grit sand paper for the best results. I would just use a standard primer.The Testors paint will be okay but I'm postitve that there are better brands of paint to use. David | |

You should also wipe it with regular paint thinner or acetone just before painting, just make sure to dry it completely.This also preps the plastic for paint and it will stick better.
