Seeing how this is mosdtly core paint of the armor, I find it issue. I washed the model with water, gave 2 to 3 coats of chaos black and still it rubs off If I'm not too careful what gives?
Does the newer black paint have this problem?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426629.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426629.page GMT Black paint chipping off?
If not then there is your problem mate.

Chaos black from the pot (or any modeling paint really) will not adhere to plastic well without first priming the plastic.

The good news is that you should easyily be able to wash off the paint you have on the models now with soap and water.

Once you do that simply prime with a suitable primer.

You could use GW's primer but it's super expensive. A better bet is to get a flat (not glossy) spray paint. People say good things about the Krylon brand, but I find that cheap walmart spray paint works just as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426648.page GMT Black paint chipping off?
I need alternative options, almost all my guys are chaos blacked, not to mention side bolters. Maybe some protective spray?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426722.page GMT Black paint chipping off? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426733.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426733.page GMT Black paint chipping off?
What if I spray chaos black primer over painf? I'll look around for varnish spray too]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426758.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426758.page GMT Black paint chipping off?
I don’t know man, I’ve never used the GW spray paint. If it’s just for display purposes then you might be able to get away with doing nothing, and just being really careful while painting.

Was it really humid outside when you spray painted them? Humidity does wacky gak to spray paint.

Could've been bit hot outside, it is almost summer here but I paint at random times. The paint only fades if I lightly drag a nail over it, most notably about edges.

I'll look at painting store for acrylic varnish in a pot and brush it on. It's supposed to give protection, not sure if one layer is enough tho]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426843.page GMT Black paint chipping off?
I say glossy because the way a dullcoat works it's not nearly as tough as a gloss coat.

Note I have never actually tired this before. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4426880.page GMT Black paint chipping off?

That's not entirely true. Gloss and matte finishes are really only based upon the surface that the varnish leaves on the model, the bonding properties do differ but not significantly enough to warrant one being "tougher" than the other.

If you are having paint come away, biggest thing as previously mentioned is prime them, but you also should give every model you get a quick scrub in some detergent as mould release agents can often be on the pieces and make the paint not adhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4427173.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4427173.page GMT Black paint chipping off?
be sure to remove all the paint before priming! or you will still have the same problem!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4427249.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4427249.page GMT Re:Black paint chipping off? gw spray...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4427261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456753/4427261.page GMT
