Has anyone tried DecoArt/Americana Paint Adhesion Medium? "Apply this medium to improve acrylic paint adhesion on slick surfaces like plastics, metals, wax, glass, porcelain, glazed ceramics, and more."

They also have Multi Purpose Sealer "Seal raw wood and improve acrylic paint adhesion with this sealer. It can be used as a basecoat or mixed with paint, and works on non-porous surfaces such as metal, plastic, and glass." but the "wax" & "slick" of the first sounds even better. :-?

Wow thanks Steam Ball ... never heard of these products. I will need to try and get some and see if I can then use something like a brush on primer (which has not worked before ... the spray primers I listed worked great but would love to find a brush primer that works as well). If anyone tries these before I can please let me know what you think!

Keeping with experiments, I heard Badger Stynylrez Primer can be brushed too (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVDJrF7fNp8 or http://amps-armor.org/reviews/showRevie ... TR&ID=3088), but it seems most go with airbrush (still looking for a real brushed demo, not just "yeah, you can"). In the list of things to test because Vallejo Surface Primer range is meh (no sanding if you want to stay sane, peels easily when using masks even after days of curing, poor adhesion to metals in general, etc) and so is the no brand name gesso I got (works fine over wood, paper, etc... must be "classic painter" only).

BTW, in other page of DecoArt site they say their Ultra Matte Varnish can be used as base, but I fear it could go as VSP. Badger products are harder to track locally, at least Americana paints are avaliable (not so the Adhesion one, but I think I saw the Sealer and the Varnish).

So 1 by Badger and 3 by DecoArt. Oh, I forgot, also the Mr Surfacer ones, but those need nasty thinners and cleaners, so way down testing list.

Tamiya also has a liquid primer, perhaps it can be used with a brush.
