Primer (black)
- Thread starter Atronach
- Start date
Duplicolor Sandable Primer comes in Black (as well as gray, white, and rust-ish). Goes on smooth and fine, though not as smooth as Tamiya.
$5 a can with tax locally at various auto parts stores (Autozone, O\'Reilly\'s, NAPA Auto Parts, etc). Not all stores will have all colors though.

I have a question, does it make sense to any one else, that you could use brush on white primer and a drop of black paint or what ever color in it to make it the shade you want??
I have not tried it yet but since I have read others opinions on primer color being black would that paint addition make the white brush on version primer weak?

You bought some yesterday? What the heck its been out forever where i live.
Black? and it was primer not paint (grey can)? Cool ill have to check GW and see whats up. Tamiya sounds like the next best. I thought the automotive stuff was not the right kind? Hmm ok ill check that also.
Id dont know anyone thats a good painter thats uses a hand brush on primer. I could be wrong but spray speeds you up and also gives a smooth finish to work with. (or supposed to be smooth lol).

Yes that is correct I used it on the Spyglass mini you saw Matty.
Tracy: You can get any colour primer you want mixing the Vallejo Foundation White and you do get a much smoother coating than using the primer alone.
It dilutes like ordinary paint and dries as fast as GW\'s Foundation paints..............I wonder if that\'s where they got the Idea?

I don\'t think the GW primer is discontinued per se, as I was just in the GW store earlier this week and the primer is in a new style of can. I don\'tknow if it has a new product code or not, but hey its GW.
@atronach: i just checked the gw online store, and the black spray can is there...my lgs has it too...the main confusion could be from the fact that gw calls it\'s white primer*drumroll please* white primer!!!, but they call the black primer chaos black...it\'s in a blue can with a black lid...
when i lived in the third world, all i could get was car primer...seemed to work fine for 25% of the price...i got the grey, sprayed it, and then painted my usual layer of black touch-up over it...sorted...
can only remember usin\' the brush-on primer once, when i was in dire straights(no not the band)...worked fine, as far as i can remember, but it did take a lot longer...don\'t know why gw calls it smelly primer, as all paints smell funny to me...
cheers
