| Keying Brass prior to painting loco chassis and parts
Painting Brass loco chassis and parts.
Some Non Ferrous Metals dont seem to take paint too well, particularly Aluminium and Brass. I'm going to use an acid etching primer but wondered if it was worth blasting the items to make a key for the paint. What grit would you use for brass. I'd want something non aggressive, just to give a satin sheen rather than a pitted surface!
Otherwise I'd just abrade the surface with wet and dry and make sure it's grease free prior to the primer which will probably suffice!
