Just got some recon arms from minispares and wanted to know if its is worth primering them with some Zinc 182 that I have or will some smooth hammerite do the job on its own?

Or got any other ideas for decent paint to use on them?

Thanks Matt

i have never seen a rusted out radius arm so you dont have to stop them rusting but if you want to paint them to keep them looking nice i would just smooth hammerite them :genius:

degrease them with white spirit and a cloth <wipe them down> and then chuck on a couple of thin layers of hammerite.
