The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Id definitely say go black since you are wanting a bit of a rich dark blue color. If you think you can also pull it off, you can also use the black primer for black lining and just paint the armor plates in blue and leave in the recesses a bit of black :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89776-primer-question/#findComment-1032767 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ionfish Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Grey. If you're in the UK, Halfords' grey primer ain't bad. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89776-primer-question/#findComment-1032808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardyer Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I always painted my CF's over white primer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89776-primer-question/#findComment-1032835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
st.germaine Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I almost never use black primer. If I'm using bright colors like yellow, red, orange, or red-violet (for my LEC), I use a white primer to keep the colors bright. Otherwise I use a medium grey primer. The only time I use black primer is when I'm painting a primarily black figure.
