So, what primer do you guys use? Available in the US? and Where? I need a GOOD matte black primer that will not hide detail. Help?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455283.page GMT IMO the only time I ever found GW Primer very good or useful was the Bleached Bone primer, which also sadly no longer exists.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455291.page GMT GW primer clog inside the bottle on me. No more 150% mark up for me. All I use now. Just have something with a humidity gauge on it near by. Has to be pretty dry or it will fuzz. Just make sure it hasn't rained yesterday, today, or is going to tomorrow. Basic rule I've been using. Also no night priming.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455304.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455337.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223310/455337.page GMT
.. I always prime black... automotive primers, krylon, rustoleum... they are 90% high build formulas for general purpose. So if you like detail, I wouldnt use them..

what I do is dust the white primer on so paint can grab.. should be able to see through it all. Then coat several times with a 1:1 water/chaos black till uniform.

I have an airbrush and that speeds up the process 300000% when doing 30+ minis.

Hope that helps... and by all means if Duplicolor, Krylon, or any other paints does it for you... to each his own...

But I recommend spraying a test model, or several, so find out which technique works best for YOU.
