VMS Metal Prep 4K Primer alternate
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?

Everywhere I looked, Mr.Metal Primer is either sold out or on back order.

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.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 30, 2025 6:42 am Carlos... the warehouse distribution center you work at, do they have any Mr. Metal Primer stock?
