Product advice for an outdated modeller

[doctorwayne]

Paint. Now that Floquil is gone, what range of paint will work on metal?  Is there a good primer to use? Will it work on wood as well?

A very good primer is Alclad II Lacquer.  It's a Grey primer and Microfiller - ALC 302.  It comes in a 4 ounce soft plastic bottle, with BB-like pellets in the bottle:  shake well to get them moving, then continue shaking until the paint is thoroughly mixed.  You can apply it with a suitable brush, but it works great using an airbrush (of course, with the pellets remaining in the plastic bottle).
