Hey there

Anyone know of a good grey primer/undercoat spray can available? I'm in the UK so ideally something that's available over here. I need to spray undercoat an entirely metal army grey, ideally in one coat.

I'll settle for any sort of grey at the moment, but in an ideal world I'd have something halfway between Codex and Fortress greys...

Any suggestions?

Try "Tamiya Grey Surface Primer"

If you guys have a home depot out there, they sell dirt cheap primers that work awesomely. 97 cents a can, and it covers like a dream.

I'm not sure what it's called, but it's the gray primer with the munchkin on the can. (Munchkin, what a great game).

Gah! I wish! Maybe B&Q or Wickes have something similar? Anyone know?

I'd buy from overseas but I think spray cans are quite a dodgy thing to get through customs!

Plastikote Grey Primer.

Works fine on metal and plastic. The primers the web site mentions for plastic and polystyrene are for polythene and expanded polystyrene. You don't need them for GW models.

You can get it from B&Q.

BTW your flag is American so I'm going to change it to UK.

ive been extremely happy with the krylon grey primer ive been using (in the white can with the adjustable spray tip) cheap and very good. avail @ walmart in the states

If you can find them, Krylon makes both grey and white primers.

Fantastic products, cost less than 3 bucks a can.

Just make sure you get the ones with the blue and white "PRIMER" label on the front, because Krylon makes a LOT of different products.
