Found a AK comparison chart, a few compare to Mr Color but as discussed not many naval paints. Will use some of there stuff such as flat black and white. Interesting info
Long ago, I heard it’s some spray filler or filling primer or whatever the English name for such stuff is, from 3M.Mr Surfacer is basically Tamiya primer in a bottle…..
As supplied in the bottle I would say that Mr Surfacer is basically a wet form of knife stopping. Designed to be trowelled on with a filling knife so filling small imperfections in a primer coat before the top coat is added. If you dilute the 1500 version it makes a great surface primer though.Long ago, I heard it’s some spray filler or filling primer or whatever the English name for such stuff is, from 3M.
Try searching "knifing filler" instead!Edit, don’t bother looking up knife stopping on the net. It was an essential part of surface prep in car repair back in the day. All you get now is articles on stopping knife crime…..how times have changed.
That works………happy to work with the Mr Surfacer I have though.Try searching "knifing filler" instead!

That’s pretty much what I meant, yes. The Dutch word is spuitplamuur, literally “spray filler” because, as I understand it, the stuff in the Mr. Surfacer bottles was originally meant to be sprayed from a spraygun to fill surface imperfections.As supplied in the bottle I would say that Mr Surfacer is basically a wet form of knife stopping.
