Aha, didn't read that. Now I know, thx. Smart thing to do, Stynylrez is very hard to find.

Will get me some

Yes fellas badger primer

Post by **galileo1** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 12:31 pm

Why did I have the feeling you guys would bring out a primer equal or better than Stynylrez??

Well, All I can say is, EXCELLENT!!! Although I have easy access to Stynylrez here in the states it will definitely be nice to have one with the Ultimate label on it.

Good job guys!

Doesn't help me here in Australia. Both Stynelrez and Ultimate rare as hens teeth here. Ultimate stocked by BNA however stock levels suck (out of everything for months) and I had to order Badger from Amazon US grrr

Try putting an order through our website and it'll let you know the postage costs, we've just reduced to costs lately so you may be surprised

Just ordered mine, getting fed up using that Vallejo stuff, never runs smoothly!

I need to get my post count up now.

Post by **Avgas** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 2:59 pm

Mine's on order. Be interesting to use it, I've heard so much about it.

Post by **ForbesHutton** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 3:58 pm

Sure, just as everyone was finally getting used to pronouncing Stynylrez......

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 5:08 pm

Good news
Key info is using a o.4 or larger needle for primer to get that even flow and coverage
Good excuse to get a bigger airbrush

I've never had an issue applying Vallejo's Acrylic Primer but it let me down badly on the last build when the damn stuff peeled off (despite the surface being cleaned prior to spraying).
I'm not risking that happening again on another model and given the high praise heaped on Stynylrez by most this distribution deal with Ultimate has come at a very good time for me. Can't wait to give it a try.

Post by **Novorus** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 6:28 pm

Very cool, knew it was going to be something like this....

Order will be place real soon, saved me postage from the US.

Post by **MikeyKb** » Wed Feb 17, 2016 7:27 pm

wow. amazing. so, will the Badger stuff still be sold in Canada?
My hobby shop carries the Badget primer, will it now carry yours, or will they still carry Badger?

Is Ultimate the UK/Europe distributor?

Again, great move guys - I just hope I can still get it at my LHS!

I can see a buy out of Hornby coming...why don't you float Ultimate? I would buy a few shares. Today Merseyside and Jamaica, tomorrow the universe.

Post by **chief5437** » Thu Feb 18, 2016 1:03 am

Boo! As usual, you bring a product out just after I've bought the same stuff elsewhere. Rubbish!!

Ha ha! Just kidding! Great move guys, even though I just got into stylnrez, I only got the little bottle. Since seeing this this morning, I've ordered some of the big bottles (and some more thinner & cleaner!)

Well done guys, straight up great modelling stuff by great modellers. Onwards and upwards

Post by **rodrant** » Thu Feb 18, 2016 1:30 am

Mines on it's way too, well done those men.

Mooching around another site, I found a thread bemoaning the fact that stynylrez aka Ultimate primer would not play nice with Ultimate cleaner.
Any thoughts Paul/Lee, it's worked for me in most part by leaving it to soak after removing as much of the still liquid paint with that highly corrosive H2O stuff you get out the kitchen tap. The not so liquid stuff goes after a soak and a scrub. But anything that has dried just won't budge, have got tide marks in the paint cup that just won't go.

Hi Andy, what site was that mate?

And yes, it works fine.....

Post by **andygif290368** » Tue Feb 23, 2016 4:15 pm

Yes I know it does very well as long as the primer isn't dry.
Hasn't shifted the dried rings in the colour cup.
But then again it's Ultimate cleaner, not Ultimate stripper.
Ha, there's another product for you.

As for the other site that would be Britmodeller.

Post by **chief5437** » Tue Feb 23, 2016 5:53 pm

Not sure how long you've left it in there for? But after a longish session I end up with those rings too, but haven't had any problems cleaning them off. No soaking or scrubbing neede, just a wipe with a paper towel.

Post by **Paul** » Tue Feb 23, 2016 7:25 pm

Using a brush and Ultimate cleaner nothing is left in my colour cup, I've not had a problem using the primer and cleaner in the 12months I've been using it

Post by **usetherudders** » Tue Feb 23, 2016 7:45 pm

Mine turned up today thanks guys for the quick delivery looking forward to using in anger.

Post by **Svenne009** » Wed Feb 24, 2016 3:50 pm

Used the new Ultimate primer today, spraying it unthined with my H&S Evo with a 0.4 needle at 25 psi -> sprays soooooo smooth, no clogging, covers very well and dries fast to a nice satin finish. No primer I used comes even close (f***k you Vallejo).
Believe the praise, highly recommended!

No problems cleaning, got most out with a paper towel and rest cleaned up nicely with some cleaner.

I've heard good things about Stynelrez. That and a combination of plastic twitching in my pocket means that I could be trying some out soon...

Since it's Ultimate/Badger primer, I'll post this here:

It can also be thinned perfectly with Ultimate thinner

Post by **OneSmallStep1966** » Thu Mar 03, 2016 11:13 am

Paul, does Ultimate have any plans to add the other colours to your range? The Red looks like a pretty convincing option for German primer.

Got a bundle of Ultimate stuff yesterday, including the new primer in black and grey.

Tried out the primer on my 1/48 Corsair. Man alive, that is one sweet smooth product. Went down beautifully.

Thanks Guys

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, this just the most appropriate place I could find to ask this

The instructions for the Ultimate Primer suggest using a 0.4, earlier in the thread Paul confirms a 0.3 is fine

I have a H&S Ultra Airbrush with a 0.2 needle and used it to spray the primer over the weekend without thinner any further and from my untrained eye it all seemed smooth and working fine, I understand the reasons for using the bigger nozzle set but would it do any harm using the smaller one short to medium term?

I do intend to buy the larger nozzle set, but I have overspent this month already, so don't want to fork out yet more on something unless it is really necessary, I don't think I can possibly justify any other packages arriving to my wife! Luckily she knows about the compressor arriving tomorrow

Some people can get it to spray through a .2mm needle others cant, it maybe a case that you needle nozzle is damaged and is larger than to originally was
