Tellos05 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hail brothers (and Sisters) just a quick question, does anyone know if halfords primers work well or works at all for undercoating? I remember someone swearing by them and saying it was fantastic but I cant remember where I saw it! Has anyone tried it?

Lorenzen Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 ive tried it and its the best primer ive used. the only thing to look out for is that you get the "normal" primer rather than the filler primer or plastic primer. theres a fair chance it could have been me lauding the values of halfords grey primer to people that you are talking about.. im a big fan.

crazychib Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have been using their Matt Black Spray for years (On my 3rd tin). No complaints - nice, fine and even coverage if you follow the instuctions correctly.

White Wolf Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I use it all the time - swear by it. Usually white, but I have grey and black as well for special occasions. Cheaper than GW as well. All the best White Wolf ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230584-primer/#findComment-2772085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayeL Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yip I use Halfords Grey Plastic Primer and is much better than GW's white or black sprays. Would recommend it highly.

staxer Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I use Halfords Grey or White Primer for Figures and Satin Black Spray for Vehicles and Buidlings. They all adhere way better than GW primer which is tosh. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230584-primer/#findComment-2773172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Ive just bought a can of their matt black spray so I'll let you know how it goes (if it ever stops raining) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230584-primer/#findComment-2776078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I find the Grey primer from halfords to be really good. Also for doing the rank and file with my blood angels i used Army Painter Dragon Red as a base coat and turned doing squads of assault marines into 30-60mins of work total on each rather than the normal build up from grey with Scab red to 50/50 then Full Blood Red etc etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230584-primer/#findComment-2777213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Quick question on a similar topic, have you guys tried the Halfords primer for Forgeworld models? I've just bought a load and don't want to ruin them with GW undercoat if it's only going to flake off! Is this the primer you're all using?

Lorenzen Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 personally i use halfords grey primer.. because its the middle ground between white and black.. ie the best of both worlds. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...tegoryId_165495 that and its actually primer >.> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230584-primer/#findComment-2777315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Ive just sprayed my FW Rhino Doors with matt black and its fine. Its stuck well and left all the details showing. Ive now sprayed GW paints on top and they have also stuck well so no pooling issues Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230584-primer/#findComment-2777629 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to use the grey primer but you will still have to wash of the resin release agent and dry beforehand Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230584-primer/#findComment-2779426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
