I almost exclusively use Vallejo Black airbrush primer with no zenithal. The only time I use a zenithal is on a detailed mini where the detail can get lost in a sea of black. However if I’m going for a retro eavy metal paint job then it’s a very light grey almost white primer. I feel this really makes the colours a lot more vibrant.

That’s why I make these tutorials, so I can actually teach people how to paint 😃 I hope painting your yellow pads is less frustrating from now on 💪🏻

The colour of the primer makes a massive difference, I really struggled to paint yellow over black primer. Instead wraithbone primer works better with yellow armour. The temperature of the primer can makes a difference, if it’s too cold or too windy or humid outside, then the primer can end up being to blotchy or grainy. A friend said you should stick the primer can up your jumper for 10 to 15 minutes so your bodyheat warms the can up. I take it a bit further my relaxing under a duvet with the primer can to warm the can up while I watch a few KZread vids. Another way of doing zenithal highlighting is to use a rattle can of black primer then dry brush a small amount of white or grey paint over the raised areas of the model.

If you look after your models you don’t need to use much. It’s not worth the risk of clogging up details. A very very light spray is enough. Also zenithal with spray cans is more than likely going to clog up details especially for someone inexperienced with spray cans

It is really good now that you help me

What do you think about cheaper aftermarket sprays or sprays from normal paint shops, are they acryl or oil based, there's is not much info on cans. In most cases they are universal for wood metal and plasti materials and they cover very nice but I'm not sure about paint sticking to them.

Hello There! Following up from the Tau commander video i checked out this one and following step by step i've managed to get the result that you have at 3:50, the problem is that my primer partly came off from a slight touch which i presume is because the paint itself is faulty since i've painted at 20 C after 3 minutes of shaking and 1 hour of drying. Also i've wanted to ask did you sand the white miniature between 3:50 and 4:40 or something? It looks a lot better then after priming.

If you're in a position where you can't spray for whatever reason, I have long felt Stynylrez primer from Badger is the best brush-on primer - at least black and grey. White still needs to be airbrushed for effectiveness. The other two however, go on incredibly well with a brush and harden to a perfect surface.

What primer would you recommend for Goff Orkz? I've seen you use a variety of primers for Orkz and I'm trying to narrow my decision and not overthink it too much. New to painting in general so I'm trying to do it right

@TableTopReadyYoutube

Жыл бұрын

it's really a personal choice on what you prefer working over. honestly I tend to use what I have at the time. so I have Orks undercoated leadbelcher, wraithbone, grey seer etc etc. I do tend to stay away from chaos black though, I like a good midtone or light colour. I would use chaos black for vehicles and things like mega knobs if they have a lot of black armour.

I had no issue with using sprays in the winter, but it just got a lot drier and hotter here in Japan and I did some of the new tyranids from the ultimate set... I wish I had not. The models themselves have too many small details and the spray clogs it even if you are careful. For that range of models, I will not use a citadel spray again for the base. A very light primer from a different company may be fine. Citadel base spray... no don't use it in temperatures above 26 degrees. It just dries too fast and leaves terrible detail damage.

I may have missed this, but how do you safely attach your pieces to the wood to set them up for spraying? I’m trying to avoid damaging the plastic.

I'm gonna assume these have been mixed with thinners or are they spray based? if you are mixing them with thinners, sometimes the thinner can effect how that primer performs, especially if its a different brand.

If you're doing large numbers of minis, best to assemble them all in full and blu-tack them onto 1 side of a rule/long stick (you could literally do 4-8 in a row) and spray them all together. Might need to separate them and finish off spraying each of them into the more concealed sides/underparts, but you could easily spray a large unit of models in the space of an afternoon.
