Good stuff! Easier than painting primer on and looks better
I started painting minis by using paint on black primer for awhile. Eventually decided to try this and it's a way better option! Very important to shake it for a minute or so and spray out before using on minis. I spray from above and find the consistency of the primer coat is so much more even then when I did it by hand. It's easy to miss spots, so I'll check the mini from all angles before moving on. Good for dark characters and shadow layer in slapchop style.

Noob Friendly with Professional Results, Really
I feared I'd spray my N scale models with blotches or whatever. That never happened, what happened were easy passes that resulted in a solid coat of primer without clogging any brick detailing Pros: - Very user friendly, even if you rarely ever use spraypaint (like me) - Relatively affordable - Excellent professional quality (even my cheap acrylics adhere to it just fine) - Sprays cleanly without feeling like you have to press down too hard (if you're doing short bursts on small objects, this matters a lot) Cons: - I really wish they'd add a rotating nozzle like newer spraycans have so we can decide how it sprays out Usage: - N Scale Train layouts using Resin prints, with ultra fine detailing - it does great

100% worth the cost.
Why should I pay 3x as much as I would at a hardware store? Well as with most TAP products, the paint quality is the absolute best. I just primed about 20 standard sized minis and barely made a dent. You shouldn't need more than one coat the coverage was so good I only needed to chase around little angles I missed. Like seriously, if you care about quality when painting minis there is no better primer on the market. The addition of essentially a base coat as well saves me plenty of time. I like necrotic flesh as a primer because it's a neutral greenish gray that can really go any direction. Looks somewhat like army sand color. I'll never use another kind of primer

Works but can be time consuming when spraying large surfaces.
It works well and probably covers a 10x10ft to 15x15ft surface. The surface I sprayed was not a perfect square so this is just an estimation based on what I sprayed, so really just a guess. The instructions on the back are clear. You need to spray the paint pretty close to a surface to actually get it on, so it can take a while to spray paint a large surface. The smell was similar to a freshly painted house. Overall the white paint can was good quality, only a little watery if focused to long in one spot.

My Go-To Spray Paint for 3D Printed Minis
This stuff is quite great! It gives a solid coat and works well on FDM 3d prints. If you print at ~0.08 layer heights and do light finisheing on top surfaces, this stuff will help cover if you go in coats. Its a deep black. As with all spray paints it is very easy to use. I was worried that because it was so much cheaper than the citadel for example that it worse quality or something but I've loved it. It makes painting easy. The color swatch on top of the can also makes it simple to check the color at a glance.

love it, very smooth matt primer
Worked on a 1/10 cast resin figure, the white primer does not have a super strong covering ability due to the nature of the white color, but gives a very smooth and matte finish to the parts, helps bring out the detail very clearly.

Warning! Read before using!
Instructions say to insert flathead screwdriver at marked point and twist to break the seal. It then has a flathead screwdriver slot. I inserted the screwdriver in the slot and twisted but instead of opening the lid it punctured the can and primer began spraying uncontrollably all over the place. I covered it as best I could and ran out of the house throwing it into the yard. Our kitchen sink and counter were absolutely covered in this paint which is nearly impossible to remove. I still have it all over my hands after hours of scrubbing. This product goes way beyond being bad and is destructive!

Zum Grundieren von Miniaturen eignet sich diese Grundierung super. Sie lässt sich super einfach auftragen und deckt sofort. Sie fließt auch hervorragend in kleine Vertiefungen ohne diese dabei auszufüllen und die Struktur der Figur zu verdecken. Die im Anschluss aufgetragenen Farben halten sehr gut. Man sieht die Grundierung auch nicht durch, egal ob nach der Grundierung mit dunklen oder hellen Farben gearbeitet wird. Die Grundierung mit dem Spray spart im vergleich zum Pinsel enorm viel Zeit. Ich habe die Grundierung bislang nur auf Kunststoff verwendet zu anderen Materialien kann ich keine Aussage treffen.

Compro cualquier clase de imprimación oscilando entre 4-8 euros, de buena calidad. El precio me parece levemente exagerado, pero el producto es bastante bueno.
