Hi Guys

I am just about to fix the deck to the hull and I would like to paint it with Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan TS-68. Does the deck need priming before I do that or if I have to prime it is it better to use Light Grey or Dark grey primer any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

A deck tan colour would be incorrect if your looking for a weathered finish and also better to go for a woodstain or artist ink., A painted deck will look just that.
Yamato's weathered deck was a greyish colour, read/see post #4 here...

Micro-Mark do "Age-it Easy" grey deck stain (also a brown version)
