Re: [mini-painter] Primer

Okay, so I assume I can purchase the Rustoleum brand primer from Home Depot or
Lowes?
How long does it take for it to dry because the GW primers dry rather
quickly...?

Hey, where are you from? I can only assume again New York City LOL

Sorry to hear that :p

Using this very week... Ogryns (metal), Cadians (plastic) and Elysians (resin)
all sprayed last week during a "dry" spell.

No damage to the mini's; I generally do 2 think coats and put just enough on to
get adhesion - I *don't* try to get total coverage!



> Also, do the GW paints work well with that brand of primer?

GW, Vallejo, PPP... all seem to be fine so far!



Cheers
