Hello, I am about to paint a Farsight Enclaves army and I wanted to speed up the process. I know that the GW spray paints are gone, but is there any good red hobby spray paint?
Thanks.

If you want to spend the extra money because is says Hobby on it. Army Painter makes a red primer.

Lots and lots of folks here swear by Krylon. I have personally never used it so I can't recommend it but YMMV.

Like flat red? I would go to a Hobby Lobby and check the model section, they should have Testor's paints. I used Testor's Flat Red for several years, I remember there being several red colors beside flat red.

Thank you for the posts, I'll check them out!

Sorry, but did you prime black or white?

Krylon in your choice of color.

Errr, are you talking abt for priming or base layer?

Dupli-Color sandable auto primer in red oxide.

Testors is pretty transparent (for an opaque paint), so you need white primer.

Preshading with black/gray/white primer would probably work well with Testors flat red.

Army Painter makes 3 shades of red primer, too. They are all pretty decent, and definitely time-saving.

Thanks for all the posts! For the same FE Force, I was thinking of using Crackle Paste for desert of canyon/mountain (stone-looking) bases.

-Any experience using Crackle Paste and have tips/warnings to give?
-Which brand is best (or does it matter)?
-For a majority of my army being red, desert or canyon/mountain bases?

Thank you! And the Testors is perfect. It came yesterday and I used it today.
