Gentlemen,

Where precisely would you consider to be the cheapest place to get a basic spray can of black paint suitable for use on both resin and plastic (including shipping)?

I get mine from Halfords - car primer works fine and is much cheaper than buying from a gaming store.

Yeah halford is best mate.

Don't be tempted to get Rustoleum primer as I did and end up melting plastic minis by accident!

Any hardware store should have a wide selection of spray primers. I use black Krylon spray paint unless I'm using Army Painter's stuff for something.

I've found army painter peels but that could be a dud can, definitely sh!te nozzles on them though.

I used to get mine from Halfords but in all honesty its not that great as it doesn't adhere well. I'm currently using an Army Painter can and it covers well and so far I have had no issues with peeling.
