Primer and Montana Spray Paint question?

I am in a design class and I have a clay model that I just sprayed with Montana Spray paint and I realized that I forgot to primer the clay, can I still apply some primer and then paint it again or should I just keep adding layers of spray paint?Primer and Montana Spray Paint question?
Well, first off, you should have used a primer on any untreated material, whether it's clay, an unpainted dry-wall room or metal.





The good news is that the first coat you've already put on your model actually acts as a primer of sorts itself. Many house painters don't use primer because it's messy and thiner than regular paint. So they treat the first coat of paint as their primer. Then they add a second coat.





Two or three or four coats on your morel should work perfectly. You can get by just fine with a second coat as long as you 'clear' coat your finished project. You can buy clear coat Krylon Varnish at just about any arts and crafts store or artist supply store.





But here is another tip: If you're going to be doing serious cray sculptures why bother with Montana Spray Paint? There is a much better product on the market. It's called Plutonium G and it's actually artist oil paint in a spray can. It will last as long as any artist oil paint because it is oil paint.

If you want to keep it for a loooong time just rough the paint and put on the primer. Otherwise over time the paint will flake
