Brush on primer

[Timmo]

Two out of three but you get to choose which two, when you buy some.

Dash my hat it’s only four quid. Be strong Landings, don’t go Full Timmo....

I think you need lacquer/cellulose thinner to clean your brushes though. I’m tempted to give this a try at some point.

As I just need to get some priming done reliably this week I’ll probably go with the humbrol black for now

[Timmo]

Let us know how you get on with it. It's curiously interesting, or interestingly curious. I'd like to know how chip resistant it is.

I'd like to know how chip resistant it is.

Then Norm is your man. He’s ace at chucking troops down stairs...

TWICE. Twice ever.

Or at least: Twice ever, so far.

I'd like to know how chip resistant it is.

I'd say as long as you keep it away from the salt and vinegar, and the grease obviously, it should be ok.

Only if they're fully painted varnished & based though.

TWICE. Twice ever.

As Oscar Wilde almost said " to so so once is undortunate, to do so twice makes it a case series."

Inspired by this debate, I tried a Vallejo brush-on primer I've had laying around. Complete crap, at least on metal figures. Had to Dullcoat after a bit of painting and then continue over that. I've otherwise been using a light grey "art" spray primer intended for graffiti artists to prep their surfaces. Very fine pigment in the medium/vehicle, whatever it's called, meaning good coverage with a thin coat, and excellent durability.
