Hi guys , I have lots of catching up to do , looks like everyone has been busy.
I have a question about metal castings, what is the purpose for using Jaxx on them , is it just to give them some bite for the priming paint?

Hi Lynn,
Essentially it will blacken the white metal. if you polish it after, you obtain  a very realistic iron color or gun metal color. You will use Jax when you Don't want to paint the casting.
there's no matter to use it before priming.

Thanks Eric , I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I just went through the steps to blacken all the metal castings for Foss Landing for nothing. I'll have to now clean them up and prime them for paint. :-[
