GW Imperial Primer any good? Im wary of paying $6 for a 12ml pot of primer...). I've looked into gesso, and it seems to be a good alternative, but it seems to be applied on as a rather thick goop, and Im worried that may obscure detail. And what about the Vajello Acrylic-Polyurethane primers?

Any thoughts, Dakka?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488147/4965217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488147/4965217.page GMT Brush-on Primers? Gesso? - Any advice or recommendations? Dont thin it as that destroys the properties. if you get spots where there is bare spots just reapply it.
Also keep in mind its not as tough as normal primers and can rub/chip off so seal the mini at the end.

Here's the article that got many of us into using gesso for miniatures.

I use the black version of this. It's absolutely brilliant, doesn't require any thinning, perfect coverage with no loss of detail. It meets all my brush-on primer needs, though I haven't tried any other colours. Hope that helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488147/4965746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488147/4965746.page GMT Brush-on Primers?

Agreed as well with the Vallejo brush-on primer. IMO the best brush on primer on the market.

You know, Imperial Primer isn't that bad.


When you can get it mixed properly, it is.

My experiences with it have been hit or miss lately. Either just a few shakes will get it mixed right, or I'll have to spend 5 minutes constantly shaking it to the point where it might work. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488147/4966094.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488147/4966094.page GMT Brush-on Primers?

Gesso? - Any advice or recommendations? Can someone give me some more detailed info about this Vallejo primer? Is it just for metal models or can you use it for plastic?
