Warsmith Uveron Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Right Iam about to start a new project, and Iam a bit of a cheat when it comes to painting as I try and make sure that the color I prime with is the primary color on the model. This next army is going to mostly have a bone look to them. My Plan was to use the Skeleton Bone spray from Army Painter (http://shop.thearmypainter.com/products.php?ProductGroupId=15#Skeleton Bone) For my Iron Warriors I made use of the Plate Metal spray they make and for the most part I have liked the sprays. But the last can wasn’t that great, and has made me worry about using them for a second army. So I thought I would ask here to see if anyone has an alternative source. Thanks!

Major_Gilbear Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I would suggest using automotive paints sold in rattlecans. Apparently some stores can mix a spray to match a particular colour, so if you take a spare base painted a few times with the colour you want (to ensure a solid even colour to scan from), you can even have it matched to a Citadel paint of your choice. :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325495-spray-paints/#findComment-4490393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Uveron Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hmm Spectrum paints looks interesting, they are in my State. Just need to work out when I can get to the store. And it does look like its going to cost a fair penny. Hmm.. I may try and visit this week if I can (Though I expect thats not going to happen as Works going to be hell this week..) Thanks!

Major_Gilbear Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Well, the alternative is to take your painted piece of plastic/miniatures base with you to a store that sells automotive paints, and just choose the nearest match off the shelf. Even if the paint you like is gloss, that's okay; just dust if with a matte sealer and paint over/wash/etc as normal. You can still seal again at the end of the paintjob just like you normally would too.
