Forté Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The Halfords sprays are just the basic primers which work quite well on plastic, resin, and metal miniatures (being someone who uses them myself). As for the other sprays, not a clue.

Aqui Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The GW sprays are not primers but matt paint. They're also one of the most expensive available for the can size. Although Tamiya are also expensive but are actually a primer so work much better. Currently I'm using Halfords primer though. Price and quality wise it's really worth it. I still have some of the black GW spray left, but I've gone over to Halfords for white and grey.

Forté Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've had one spray session go furry thanks to the humid weather but that's it so far.

Although Tamiya are also expensive but are actually a primer so work much better. Use krylon flat color, it is just as good if not better. People fool themselves if they think the GW stuff is somehow "formulated" better or some such nonsense. I have been painting for 20 years and I always use krylon and it has never done me wrong Yup yup. Have never picked up a can of Chaos Black (other than to read the label), and at $17 vs $2-$3 for a general primer (usually Krylon), there's no incentive for me to do so... I'd be counting the pennies coming out of the nozzle every second the button was depressed.

Forté Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sadly Krylon is pretty expensive in the UK or I'd give it a try. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308520-whats-with-all-the-hate-for-gw-black-primer/page/2/#findComment-4126167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedes Nex Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I wouldn't bother. I'm pretty sure Halford's and other UK specific brands are just as good as Krylon if not better. Krylon is very good for the price, but that's what it is: a good, cheap spraypaint. It's not amazing.

Joe Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Halford's is a den of despair and debauchery, mind you. I've been using a few of the Humbrol sprays from Hobbycraft. At £5 a tin they're a good buy; and they leave the model with a nice matte finish.

Forté Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Humbrol are only 150ml cans. So that's £15 for less than one Halfords and only 50ml more than GW.

MrFlutterPie Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 There is nothing wrong quality wise with GW's primer I've found expect for the price. I made the switch to Krylon many years ago after I got tired of paying $20 a can. Now I buy four cans for the same price and I have had no problems with Krylon.

Spacefrisian Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I actually paint stuff without spray of any kind on it, none has been able to tell the difference (even though they said they would notice). Although sometimes its those base paints from GW. But i didnt knew there was hate against GW primers to begin with.
