Prime Factor October 23rd, 2006 - 11:46 am
Sitting here over my coffee this morning, waiting for the sun to peek out a bit more and warm up for a afternoon of priming miniatures, I got to thinking about paint. Not so much brands, but mostly color of priming paint. So far I have used four colors to prime various pieces and each seems to have advantages and disadvantages.


  • Flat black, probably the most used color for priming stuff. Works well over foam core, and on miniatures. Disadvantage seems to be that it takes more paints to cover later.

  • Flat grey, useful again in all aspects. Doesn't take as much to cover later, but tends to not give the same depth of shading that black does.

  • Flat "rust" red. This I have only used on miniatures. Gives interesting results especially if the miniatures is meant to have red hair. Again tho the depth of shading seems to be less than black

  • Flat white. This I have used on some of the Combat Zone troopers I have. Depth of shading is less, but the paints seems to be more alive and bright, and seem to take less to cover.



Well looks like today will be a bit of flat black for horses, and flat white for a couple of the cowboys, part of my experiment and learning process.
