Casual Heresy Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi all. I was browsing gifts for geeks when I found the army painter sprays. I'd like to ask you guys what the sprays are like, coverage, the amount in the tin etc. I'm particulary intrested in info on the Desert yellow spray since I'd like to one day strip and repaint the Imperial fists I got at a GW auction and doing the yellow on 100 + marines by hand would kill me. Thanks for any info. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233936-army-painter-sprays/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Well, I've recently begun to use the black spray that Army Painter does for my undercoats and I'd say the product works fine. It doesn't tend to hang in the air like the GW stuff does and has a slightly tighter spray-cone. The drying time may be a little longer than GW sprays but that's neither here nor there for me - a few extra seconds isn't anything to worry over. I've never tried any of their other colours so I can't help you in regards to your specific query. Sorry. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233936-army-painter-sprays/#findComment-2816597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've used Pure Red for a while now and my only complaint is actually on the quality of the can/nozzle. I've often found that the nozzle stays depressed after you let go of it which results in a bit of a mess as well as wasting paint. The paint itself however is fanstastic and I really don't want to contemplate painting Blood Angels without it these days.

crazychib Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have used both the Greenskin and Pure Red sprays with no complaints. Both colours match GW paints perfectly (Snot Green and Blood Red), so I guess the yellow will match one too (Which is ideal for correcting any mistakes).

After_8 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've started using Pure Red for my Blood Angels when I got sick of doing several coats of Blood Red over GW's white spray. Honestly, I prefer GW's sprays - they seem easier to use (this may just be the particular can of Pure Red that I have but it seems to need re-shaking much more frequently in order to get an even coat) and I'm not a fan of the slightly rough feeling that the Pure Red seems to have to it. Unfortunately, GW don't do a Blood Red primer, so Army Painter it is - the colour is a perfect match, at least.

asmodai650 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've used their Dark green to basecoat and prime my Angel of Redemption, and I like it. It is more expensive, but I am combining the basecoat and prime into one step. Also, the amount I got out of the can was a little disappointing. I only got 2 land raiders, 2 dreads, 1 razorback, 16 terminators, 11 marines, and 10 scouts out of the can. It may sound like a lot, but I can prime twice as much with my Rustoleum Black Primer and still have some left over. Don't get me wrong, it is a great product, and I'll buy it again.

Brother Nihm Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've only tried the greenskin one and my issue with it was that the paint flaked off during normal handling, unlike GW's. Maybe it was a bad batch but I swapped to Chaos Black and painted up my greens normally after that.
