[Model.][Paint] GW plastic/resin models question

[Guest]

OK, sorry to put these questions in one post, but I thought they were a bit
related.

First, does anyone know what exact plastic GW minis are made of? I'm just
curious.

Second, I'm a bit confused as to the prep and priming of resin figures.
Should I use regular primer (ala GW spraycan) or is there a specific resin
primer I'd need? I've read differing posts on this subject, and I didn't see
anything on the rgmw site about it.Are there any important dos/don'ts I
should be aware of before I get going. I know I can find these answers out
on the Net, but Id rather ask you folks, as I trust your knowledge.

Apologies in advance.

drgrbek.

I could spend an hour typing but rather send you to the Armorcast
website.

Spray primer works fine, though you may want to use Krylon's auto body
primer. Whatever you use, just make sure you clean the figures
super-well.
