Standard User Posts: 62 ithoriel 12th Sep 2016 08:47:22 I use Halfords matt spray paints - white or black depending what I'm painting. Usually the latter. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is entirely optional! |

I prime inside using my airbrush. My favorite primer is gesso, brush on or spray on. The downside to gesso is that it tends to be fragile, so you have to be careful with your minis until the sealer is on. |

Standard User Posts: 97 bushs 13th Sep 2016 05:15:25 Hi lerkker, For what it's worth, I brush on humbrol enamel which has been thinned down with turpentine to get the paint into the recesses. After that is dry I then spray paint over the top with a cheap enamel. I always use black undercoat. Like the other guys have said, be careful of the weather when spray painting especially with varnish. Regards, Steve |
