VMS Metal Prep 4K Primer alternate

Post by BlackSheep214 »

I’m intriqued on trying VMS Metal Prep 4K Primer for PE primer but it is expensive. Is there a alternative product that’s comparable to it?

Carlos... the warehouse distribution center you work at, do they have any Mr. Metal Primer stock? Curious because nobody has them due to being on back order.

VMS is not a line that I’m familiar with, nor have I seen it in our inventory. So no, we do not stock it. We stock Tamiya, Mr Hobby, Vallejo, and AK for paints.

Mr Metal Primer is not from VMS. It's part of the Mr Hobby line.
