Can anyone recommend a good grey spray paint?

It will mainly be for basecoating scenery. I Hycote Matt black spray for example, I can get 3 cans of it for £10 and it's great, but they don't do it in grey, well, the grey is a primer, so not sure if that would work.

That's just an example, but if anyone can recommend a good grey spray paint, that would be appreciated.

I use the grey primer from Poundland, to be honest i struggle to find anything better for priming.

Hycote do a plastic grey primer and a general grey spray. I always use the primer and it's great.

As used here on my necromunda terrain.

P.s. I am uk based. Scotrails on train Wi-Fi seems to think it's in the US...

I use Halfords grey primer. I'm looking for something darker myself

Ok sweet I will get the Hycote Grey primer then.

As I said I really get on with the Hycote matt black, I use it to undercoat models I think its great.

Basically I plan on making some scenery using the same technique as Winters SEO does on this video:

Basically spray flat MDF (but this would work on any flat surface) with a textured spray paint, then base coat black, then more lightly spray grey over that, so it'll still look dark.

He then does some drybrushing over, personally think the end result looks amazing for how little effort it takes.
