What primer do you use?
I started off using a spray primer - probably GW. I hated the stuff - first of all, you get no control with spray. It makes a mess. Here in the south east, it is muggy and the spray would sometimes come out all 'gloopy'.
I then tried a brush on primer. Dont remember what it was - it worked great, but the brush on part kinda sucked.
Other people I know use ENAMEL primer, like the stuff you can get for cars?
Then, and currently, I switched over to black gesso. You just 'schplop' the stuff on, and it shrinks down nicely onto the model. I kinda like it, but Ive noticed that you can get bubbles, and very occasionally, a rough surface in places.
Ive been thinking about trying the Surface Primer from Vallejo. Its brush on (which, now a days, I dont mind), and people seem to rave over it.
Any suggestions? What do you use?
I use army painter because it's cheaper than GW but for a small amount of figures I'll brush it on!
ReplyDeleteI use Halford's matt primer - cheaper than GW and very effective.
