    advice on painting tubes

    I am looking at painting some tubes white to give a better background for resin blanks. What is the best type of paint to use and do you need to prime? I predominately use acrylic for model making and hope this would be good enough. Once painted is it OK to use CA glue to bond blank to tube?
