    • @weekendhobbyist
      @weekendhobbyist  11 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for subscribing and the comment. I don’t think you have to but if you want a different hue you might want to use a darker or lighter primer as a base coat. It also depends on what color the plastic is. When in doubt do a spray test first.
