Spray and Pray
« on: May 02, 2011, 04:57:38 AM »
Spray paint is my best option to apply base coats to the 100+ minis I need painted for the Megabattle.

So, does anyone here have a line on where spray paint may be cheapest? I know Home Depot usually is around $5-6 a can, but I'm not familiar with other places.

Paint gun would be the best as you could color it the exact color you want.

The 99 cent primer is really good I use it for all my model a shame bg doesn't carry it.  Also the GA spray gun is ok but it will brake and you can barrow my air compreser its the size of an xbox

Is this different from an Air Brush, Rich?  I'm thinking about getting one myself, and was wondering if there was a difference.

Ed, how long did yours last before breaking?

Air brush would be best, but after my most recent purchase from BG, it's not a good time to invest.

I just bought some red spray paint at Lowes right in Plainville. It was about three dollars a can and they have a good variety of colors.
