Just a quick question for anyone who has used the Army Painter sprays. How much would you say they can paint if used correctly? I am guessing that they have a pretty good coverage but then 50 BA is a lot to paint

Thanks!

I've had 50-60 full size models out of a single can before running out. You should be alright, but you wont have much left at the end.

Sounds perfect. I shall just have to watch what I spray

Just be careful and follow the instructions on the can. If you use the sprays like you'd use regular spraypaint, you'll probably end up with fuzz all over your models.

The Red spray from The Army painter is a very good quality spray but make sure you shake it for at least 2 mintues because I shook it for 1 and found that it still wasn't coming out smooth. But once i got it right the spray is amazing.

Also ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do a test model or bit of sprue with army painter before spraying. Make sure it is at least 10C without too much humidity and if the weather or wind changes between the test piece mostly drying and your main spray, do another one. Always keep the can vertical when spraying or you end up with a bad mix too. When army painter sprays work they are utterly invaluable, but they are so finicky that you must be extremely careful at all times.

Thanks for the advice. You have probably saved me a lot of cursing and storming around the house blaming everything that gets in the way for my badly sprayed, lumpy space marines

yes and try and keep about a 2/3ds ruler's length away from the model when spraying
