space marine schnauzer Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have a great number SMs that I need to paint and vehicles. What color or colors of spray paint could be used. I like Krylon, since it's easy for me to get. Suggestions.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232605-ultramarines-spray-paint/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronk Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Well, you want a primer so that it goes on smoothly. I'm not sure that Krylon makes an ultramarine blue primer. On troops, I would use flat black Krylon then paint on the ultramarine blue and other colors. The black base should be left as a liner on parts of the model. You could also try Ultramarine Blue by the army painter. It's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a problem with them. One tip: No matter what primer you use, check your local weather report. If the humidity is above 50%, I would not prime. In fact, I won't prime above 40% humidity, but I live in Houston, Texas so that REALLY cuts into my hobby sometimes.

I live in SC, so humidity is a really big problem. But I'll look into the Army Painter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232605-ultramarines-spray-paint/#findComment-2798265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
