matt black from halfords, think it's for cars but it works perfectly fine

Has anyone tried Krylon Fusion? Link here. They say that they're designed for plastics and resins, so if nobody else has tried them, I'll give them a whirl, and see how they go. Nice variety of colours, and half the cost of GW primers. Obviously not as cheap as the Walmart brand that's been mentioned, but a range of colours to choose from.

I don;t undercoat

I undercoat with Vallejo paint + Satin Varnish.

Been using some cheap Krylon from Wally World recently. Works just as good as GW and is less of a strain on the wallet. Been thinking of trying Tamiya in the near future as well.

Air brush with a black primer call panzer grey

Unfortunately I'm limited to brushing on everything, *sigh* all my money goes to GW figs which leaves precious little for paint, and so my poor 'crons are forced to take Apple Barrel. :(

Brush on. I like to use the undercoating step as a time killer when I have nothing else to do, so I brush on the undercoat to take up the maximum amount of time.

I just use primer from my halfords

Always used GW chaos black!
