I'm going to start painting my model by painting bits of the engine first. They're small, different colors, and they really need to be painted before putting the model together.
I started by separating the engine pieces from the others
The humidity/temperature combination was right this evening, so I took that section outside and primed it.
I just shot the primer at the parts perpendicularly. Looking at the cowl here, I think I need to shoot the side a little better with the primer.
The can indicates that you should put two coats of primer on anyway, so I'll try to get better coverage on the next coat.
