<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "GW basecoat sprays"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW basecoat sprays
I'm concerned that spraying the models with black primer, and then basecoating with leadbelcher spray, will mean the layer of sprayed on paint will be too thick. What would happen if I sprayed the leadbelcher straight onto the plastic? Has anyone tried using any of the GW coloured sprays (macragge blue etc) without first priming?

If the only worry is that the leadbelcher base wouldn't be even then that's fine, as I'll be doing lots of washing and drybrushing over the top, but if the paint would just peel off without the primer then of course it would be an issue

I'll just give the models a dusting of chaos black then, rather than get a complete black coverage.

Also, I've heard that leadbelcher spray is really bright (brighter than the pot version). Have you found this?

Thanks for the reply!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9099936.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9099936.page GMT GW basecoat sprays
I've even used the Incubi Darkness directly onto resin from Forge World after the cleaning process.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100120.page GMT GW basecoat sprays
Leadbelcher is a fine undercoat, you don't need to prime your figures with anything prior to using it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100211.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100211.page GMT GW basecoat sprays
i undercoated black as I would normally only paint silver over a black base when using hairy brush. In my experience this gives a better silver. Plus any recesses where spray is thinker are shaded darker with the black.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100358.page GMT GW basecoat sprays

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS!!! ALWAYS PRIME YOUR MODELS!!!

Now that being said, like using a brush, lay down thin coats of the spray primer. This will help with the detail not getting reduced. Same goes for any sprays that you use.

I have used the spray Leadbelcher and it didn't cover up any detail. This was with a black primer first. The spray will get the job done a whole lot faster and smoother.

I hope this helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100593.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100593.page GMT GW basecoat sprays
I think dusting is a good way to go with the black spray, what I would do is dust them upside down to catch all the recesses with black and then spray them the right way up with the Leadbelcher spray. :-)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100596.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9100596.page GMT Re:GW basecoat sprays GW's very own Duncan said that he uses the sprays straight onto plastic without issue.

Personally I would probably prime resin or metal models, but if Dunc says the sprays are fine straight onto plastic, I wouldn't argue with that!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9101175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712255/9101175.page GMT
