Building the Old West
Experiments
I’ve built a few MDF kits but mostly pre-colored 4Ground kits. So while I have some experience with unpainted MDF kits, it’s still pretty new to me.
I have some old unpainted kits that I’m going to experiment on. One I’ll use spray primer on. The other with get some lacquer.
Brush on lacquer and lacquer thinner to clean the brush. If you’ve never used lacquer, use outdoors are in a very well ventilated area. I’m also trying standard hardware store spray primer, Krylon in this case, as it’s much less expensive than hobby primer. 
A 10mm ruined building from an old project. One coat of Krylon primer. 
A different building with two coats of brushed on lacquer. I let both buildings dry for roughly 24 hours. I’ll next try some paint to see what sort of results I get before starting on my western buildings.
