I don't often use sprays, but after painting a white Space Marine for an upcoming event, I've resolved to never try to basecoat white with a brush again. I'm considering Krylon or the Army Painter from things I've read. They're both fine on the Plastics, but what about resin? Does anyone have any horror stories with spraying Finecast/ Forgeworld?

Acryllic paint in a can is acryllic paint in a can. If the material you want to work with can handle acryllic paint, sticking it in a can won't change that.

Same! Which grey primer do you prefer?

he only thing you have to make sure of is that you've properly washed you're resin, otherwise the paint isn't going to be on there for very long.

I always give resin a coat of varnish first in case I missed a bit while cleaning (matte varnish as anything yiu missed will be shiny in contrast to it.)

Even once you've washed the resin, sometimes it will look shiny. The matte varnish eliminates that completely, thus if you see any shine you know you need to go over that bit again, because you missed it or the coat is too thin. You don't then have to strip it and start from scratch, just apply more varnish to the relevant place.

I use vallejo matte varnish straight out of the 60 ml bottle, generally apply it with a brush as I don't do much that's bigger than dreadnought size and it allows you to be more precise.
