Nathanvoodoo Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 If you haven't tried a can of Krylon Camo paint as a primer- give it a shot. It goes on super thin, sticks really well, and costs 5 bucks from just about any random hardware or even Fred Meyers. That is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I haven't tried the Camo, but I've been using Krylon Fusion Flat Black as my primer for years. Works fine, and costs less than a third of what GW wants for a can of primer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 been using it… it is good - really helps with my USAriadna -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've used the light tan and dark green. Dark green is almost black, tan is pretty light with good color. Both are fantastic in my opinion and I heartily recommend both! They both require a good shaking though. I shake till I think it's good enough, then shake another minute;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the two types of paint I use for all of my priming, both in black. I get whatever is on hand at the time, and suspect that they are the same paint, marketed differently. Regardless, I love them both! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've used them both for my guard and for my Orks and my terrain. Can't recommend them enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hello there, The "Duck Commander" Camo Spray Kit from Krylon: black; olive; brown; khaki. Usually around $ 16.00. With the "fusion for plastic" technology. No prep, no priming, one-step. We use the heck outta this on our helmets for SWAT. It's non-glare and coats super thin yet well. I prime minis with it all the time, since cans are always around. Stay safe, don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Don, (or anyone) Are those sprays enamel-based? Acrylic? How do you think they would fare against MDF? Thanks! -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Tim, According to www.kryloncamopaint.com: This ultra-flat paint is non-reflective to provide the ultimate camouflage. Bonds to most plastics, PVC, hard vinyl, ceramic glass, wood, metal and wicker No sanding, no priming; ultra-flat, non-reflective colors Ideal for sporting and hunting equipment, decoys and more. Not for use on skin, hair or clothing Fully chip resistant in 7 days Dry to touch: 15 minutes or less Dry to handle: After 1 hour For use on: Wood, Metal, Wicker, Wrought Iron, Plastic, Hard Vinyl, Glass, Plaster, Ceramic, Paper, Paper Mache I'm looking at some cans I have at the house... nothing on it about enamel-based or acrylic-based. The website doesn't say either. Sorry. Maybe it's the "fusion for plastic technology." If it helps, it's super durable. I've built AR15s for folks and used this stuff on their gear and my gear, along with SWAT kit. Nothing's come off yet and it's held up super well. So as a primer it'll be bomb proof I'm sure. But then again, I can't find if it's enamel-based or acrylic-based so it's not like I'm all that smart. Stay safe, don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Wow, thanks for the info Don! I think I'll give it a go and try it on some spare MDF scraps. Always worried about sprays 'soaking' into the wood and warping/bloating it. I suppose it wouldn't cost too much to give it a shot. :) Thanks for the info!!!

InfestedKerrigan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't think I have any pictures of what it did applied straight to cork board. It did absorb, but only mildly warped. Curling, specifically. Nothing horrid, as it was for a base anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I used some of this a couple years back on a terrain board - my first can was a dud and clogged up after just a few minutes. I had to return it - the second can worked fine and did a great job. It's a cheap alternative and (as WestRider mentioned above) the Flat Black Primer is great too. Just make sure you get FLAT black.

WestRider Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yeah, I accidentally grabbed the Satin one time, and that came out shinier than some nominally Gloss finishes I've seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
