Can I Paint Directly Without Applying Primer Putty?

[ElizabethFitz]

Painting directly without applying primer putty is also possible. Here are the relevant explanations: Reasons for applying primer putty: Applying primer putty serves as a base coat, ensuring uniform color for models that have undergone seamless processing, sanding, or modifications, thereby preventing color differences caused by overly thin paint application. In fact, this can be compensated by applying thicker coats of paint without primer putty. However, the MAX technique generally requires primer putty application. Benefits of primer putty: Another advantage of primer putty is enhancing paint adhesion and preventing color fading. However, this is not absolute—applying primer putty doesn't guarantee no fading, nor does skipping it necessarily cause fading. Ultimately, applying a protective topcoat provides the most assurance.
