mertbl Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I cant use aerosol cans because of where I live but I have an airbrush. Do their colored paints work as a primer as well or should I just stick with vallejo airbrush primer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 For sure use a primer just spraying the colors. I like the badger stylenrez primers. They’re very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 There's a specific bottle of primer in the ap range, Google it and you'll have all the info you need. I wouldn't recommend using the normal paints to prime as they won't grip to the model properly and you'll get severe chipping and rub off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhanist Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The army painter dropper bottles are just normal acrylic paint, not primer, bar the specific grey 'brush-on primer' dropper bottle. Only the rattle cans are coloured primer, matched to the normal paints for convenience of touch ups. Given you're airbrushing, the primer (e.g. vallejo or stynylrez) will go on in a thinner layer than from a rattle can anyway, so there's less need for a coloured primer. And if you wanted a base colour from the army painter range (I use necrotic flesh for Death Guard, for example) they thin down nicely for airbrush use.
