We get some tips from the Army Painter guys about how you go about Priming your army.
There are some things to learn about the way in which the spray works and indeed some top tips afterwards about the way in which you can use the spray.
Remember the spray and stick method and indeed how much you're putting on your models.
I use a spray stick myself but do advocate getting a box or pack of nitrile gloves, which since you’ll only need to wear 1 on the stick holding hand lasts a fair while and does mean you aren’t spraying yourself in the process
hmm upside down tip – never done it before but it make sense!
Even some of the old GW cans did suggest that one
Good sound tips.
Nice Tips
Never used a paint stick, but I think I’ll give it a try when I get my starter set in.
great idea with the spray stick to use the paint itself to tack the models down.
Lots of vital info in a short vid.
Definitely a nifty trick don’t think I have ever seen that before with using the paint. Nice Tips guys.
Some really good rattle can tips right there.
Hadn’t even thought of this technique before but am going to use it from now on.
Don’t use a spray stick but that’s a cool trick to keep them stuck down. Also, he’s right that it’s a must to clean the nozzle, upside down sprays just propellent so it clears it.
These are some great tips!
Ive always struggled with some of the colour priming sprays that weren’t GW ones!
Good info for priming.
nice tips, keep em coming
That tip about keeping the can 20cm or less from the model is crucial. I had a friend ruin the paint job on a squad of Germans because he didn’t read the instructions for the color primer. He sprayed from too far away and the primer was mostly dry when it hit the models.
spray paints are really great. I use Dragon red on my Blood angel army and it has saved me a lot of hassle with the base coat.
I’ve seen someone use the spray as an adhesive. Crazy. I think I’ll stick with my bluetack though, since it is cheaper to use than paint (and reusable).
good tips
Using spraypaint as glue is witchcraft
some nice tips. I’ll still probably use blue tac though.
some very cool and good tips there. gotta remember those.
Good advice!
thanks for the nice advice 🙂
Some good tips there, including removing your watch before sticking your hand in a cloud of primer.
Best primer on the market. I like the spray stick never thought of that! I have always used blue tack!
Same lol 😀
