hey guys,

I just wanted some feedback, Is there any other primer that works wonders beside the citadel products? Those primers are a touch on the pricey side and I figure I would ask if a basic Auto primer would work? just wondering, let me know what you folks think.

thanks for your time

There's a lot of people that do just that. Make sure to test any primer you buy before using it on models though. That way, if it's too thick (or whatever) you won't ruin anything with it.

I use Armory Spray Primer its about $5 to $6 a can and it works great.

Use white for bright colors, Grey for natrual colors and Black for dark colors.

I've also heard of people useing products from Krylon or Rustoleam that seems to work well.

Home depot sells a super cheap set of primers that are only $1 a can and I swear by the stuff. It works perfectly and leaves and incredible coat on my minis. Seriously give the stuff a shot its pure awesome

What is the brand name of this product, King Cracker? I would like to try it out.

Any flat spray paint will work, Ive been using the 1$ a can stuff from walmart for years. Its better than the citadel crap and cheaper.

I use duplicolor sandable primer. Works pretty well, but I sometimes have trouble getting the paint to stick to it. Meh.

The stuff King Cracker talked about is Quick Color just make sure to pay attention to the cap and make sure it is NOT glossy. I too swear by it.

Krylon flat black is the best! Less than 3 bucks a can.

Krylon.

Duplicolour Sandable Primer. I swear by it.

My dad just buys me citadel primer when i need it soz.....

thanks for the input guys, it has been helpful =D
