Cpt_Reaper Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have a Grey Knight Venerable Dread and Inquisitor Rex and friends sitting in a box on my desk. I want to paint them but don't want to hand paint the undercoat and was wondering if it is safe to spray them? I've never used resin models before and have no idea if it's safe. I asked some guys at a tourney at the end of last year and they just laughed. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewiss111 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 from own experience, you should be fine spraying them, but make sure you washed the parts to all the models, since you get resin dust, which will ruin your paint job as it will brush of when painted, sprayed and handled. they have articles on forge world website where i'm sure they have some category/FAQ about it!

Rider-75 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 my BT VenDread is spray undercoated. It woks fine as long as you clean it with lukewarm soapy water first. The soap is needed to make sure you wash off any of the mould releasing agent first. it not only stops the resin sticking to the mould, it also stops the paint sticking to the resin :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Yep it is safe, The advice on washing is a good one. I did both (washing and spraying) on this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromedog Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 they have articles on forge world website where i'm sure they have some category/FAQ about it! They HAD articles on that site. I expect they will return when the cybermonkeys running it extract their digits and put some useful content back there. Wash carefully with a good grease-cutting detergent and lukewarm water (not hot- but not cold. Hot water will just cause you more problems as it softens the resin, but cold water won't dilute the detergent enough to get it into spots). Spray with any decent spray (I do not class any of GWs spray paints as a "decent" paint) - like an automotive primer. Allow to dry, paint as normal. Varnish afterwards. Done properly, the paint should stay where it is put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
