for lexan you dont use primer, you wash the inside well and make sure its dry. Apply window masks and any graphic masking, mix paint and do your thing


EDIT: just looked through your threads and see you have a tf2. Sand the body with some light sandpaper and spray with sandable primer ( i like plastikote), let it dry and sand out any issues then start painting after you clean up the dust.

Use a primer that will go with your top coat. In other words if you want a brighter color use a flat white primer as a base coat, if you have or like darker colors you would want to use grey or a dark red primer. Either way I prefer the 2 in 1 Primer from Walmart. It runs around $3 a can, dries very quickly and is compatible with Testors, Tamiya and Model Masters paint.
