Primers

Primers - we all use them, but which one provides best value for money?

Games workshop  - pretty decent, good coverage and nice size but at £9.50 for 400ml an expensive choice.

Army painter  - Similar price and effect as Games workshop, similar size can. I will say that the range of colours available is excellent and is a good choice for a speciffic colour prime.

Simoniz - 500ml can, £4.00, yes £4.00. I like this and the quality of prime is great. Go visit your local car part shop. (thanks to PAR for the tip).


A quick word on stripping - paint stripping! our US cousins have Simple Green and we in the UK have Fairy power spray. I have sucessfully stripped resin, plastic and metal very well. The trip is to leave the figures for long enough and ensure an adequate coat of the spray.



Available in  most supermarkets!
