Hey folks. I need some help here.
I just picked up a can of Army Painter Brainmatter Beige primer from my hobby shop. Did about 3 coats on my Cross Frame Dark Magician Girl while letting it dry for a few mins in between after having soaked the kit in some warm soapy water the previous day. I've seen people talk about how they've gotten a chalky porous texture after applying, which is exactly what I have. I don't mind it so much because the pieces on the kit are large enough for it to not be a problem. The issue I'm having though, is that when I rub my finger on it, it wipes off like a fine dust. Like I'm rubbing chalk dust off a chalk board. I finished spraying it about 4 hours or so. It's 17°c outside and no humidity. Stood about 20 cm away from the parts while spraying while doing brief short wisps from side to side as the can instructed.
Did I fuck up my entire kit? I did a test piece the other day the exact same way, and none of these issues are there, not even the chalky texture (however I did leave that piece to cure overnight before handling it) so I don't know if/what I did wrong. I can live with the horrendously porous texture, I just want to know if the residue that comes off is going to be a problem for painting.
