Any customizer will tell you about that one model that fought them every step of the way. This Breyer Stablemate Clydesdale Stallion was my challenge in recent months. Prepping wasn't so bad--his seams were easy to remove, etc. But when it came time to primer him? Well, the first time ended up being a bad can of primer, so he and a bunch of other models ended up soaking in Purple Power to remove it. Then the second primer attempt went well--until I dropped him on the ground while the primer was still wet. Time for more Purple Power.
We finally got through the third attempt at primer without incident--or so I thought. About four coats of earth pigments into his black roan paint job, and I made the error every customizer fears: I grabbed the primer instead of the sealant, and didn't notice until he had a fine white mist all over one side.
Thankfully he was going to be roan appaloosa anyway, but I ended up having to paint him darker and more stylized than I originally intended. The accidental primer layer was early enough in the painting process that it's been completely covered over.
