So quick silly question, does the GW Chaos black primer match pretty much seamlessly with the paint?

My army is based chaos black, and would save a LOT of time in painting if i can prime and do the base coat with a little touch up to fill in the spots the color primer missed

because painting 3 preds, a LR and a FoR takes a lot of time -_-

the problem you are going to run into is primer paint has a different finish than acrylic paint. and the black isnt as sharp, i've found.

I sort of find it works about the same, but the finish of the spray can be a bit lighter and wtihout a slight sheen to it that Ive found the paint from the bottle can have at times. Maybe do a test piece using some sprue and things laying around. Spray it and then painting a little bit of your chaos black paint over the top or right next to it to see. Thinning the paint might help it come closer to the spray colour.

ok, right now i have the army painter "matte" black and its got a pretty good shine to it, been priming with that then brushing over it, if i get an air brush that might make things easier lol
