Psilence Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a good spray paint for basing red armies, blood Angels in particular. Store bought, nice flat finish, good coverage, able to take GW washes, and highlight back up well. The crylons I've tried either end up slightly glossy and require a matte coat, or lack the desired color. Air brush is 'do-able' but tedious, so something out of a can would be gold :) Help me ordo-wan-kenobi, you're my only hope :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 The mephiston red primer is good, but spendy. I have had bad luck with army painter, but the Dragon red is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I use cheap flat red from walmart. For black/white, I like the Fred Meyer stuff better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Bungalow Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I like Rustoleum but one thing I notice is that good finishes with bright colors are more about application that brand name. Red, for instance, rarely looks great sprayed on directly. I like to hit surfaces with white first, then a bit of yellow and finally red over the top of that. This gives me the bright, opaque red that I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torg Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I typically base color stuff (at least the bigger things) with duplocolor from most any auto parts store. BUT they typically don't take washes or anything else well - so i end up hitting things with a dull coat before I am ready to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
