Best way to combat this is simply avoid handling the casting at all. Use a painting stick, toothpick or even a piece of cardboard to hold your castings while you paint.

After it's all done, mist the castings with a flat varnish like Testor's Dullcote and then you can hand-ball the castings from there.
Craig,
I have done that in the past for figures, guess I will have to resort to that here, and drill a little hole for some .012 wire.....

thanks....

Baggage Car - Daily Chat / priming metal details....
April 28, 2021, 08:04:04 PM
Hey All,
I have a stupid question to ask. What is the best way to clean, and prime metal details. No matter if i tried dish soap, or alcohol, and than did not touch the casting, sprayed with 2 light coats primer, and dried for several days, I still sometimes on edges get the metal coming through when handling to paint.
Any thoughts, or better ways would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks

Loren....

Great job Loren.....I was going to make mine look like a well maintained facility, but after seeing what you did, I might have to change my mind.  8)
Greg,
I am always partial to weathered old buildings. I think you can put more character into them...Thanks for the compliment...

I'm the lucky friend that received this wonderful build!  Loren "9-fingers" did another great job on this FSM kit.  I really love his weathering techniques.
Mark,
Glad that you like it.....just do not ever ask me to make a NEW looking building, do not think it is in my nature......
