Primer color question

Posts: 721 Threads: 30

I'm about to recover seven Slingy shells in white pearl. Looking at all the shells they are not all the same color. Some wood are a few shades darker than the others.

Precision Drum says:

"When recovering Mahogany, previously painted, stained or dyed shells in Antique White, White Pearl, Blue White Pearl, Continental, or Sky Blue Pearl, first apply one coat of sealer/primer to the shells and allow to dry thoroughly."

I'm wondering what color would be best. The lighter the better?

Most primers are gray. Or should I find white?

Thanks in advance.

Joe

I would ask what type of primer they suggest. My thought would be a flat white interior wall primer. My old WMP kit has a flat white base under it. Make sure to tape the edges prior to painting though. Look at my pix of the latest donor kit for a guideline if you need to see how I tape them.

Got the answer from Precision Drum.

They use this.

Zinsser brand BIN primer sealer. It's white.

Thanks Johnni
