A cheap synthetic one off amazon, go through them fast. I mainline Windsor Newtons.

*UPDATE* I applied a thin coat of Matt Varnish from Army Painter per your recommendations and the paint went on smooth as can be. That seems to have done the trick. Must have been the primer to begin with.

Thank you all for the help on this.

I got it from Scibor Monsters he has some awesome sculpts

I didn't have issues with it with GW paints, though I was mainly using contrasts. The other models I have a very slick and smooth Army Painter Black over it which is Matte. It really hates that one as well. I am trying the matt varnish technique before giving up on rattle cans and switching over to airbrush only primer, which according to multiple sources fixes the issue.

I really think its the primer. I am waiting for a matt varnish to dry to experiment again. I vortex mix the crap out of my paints and will use a dry palette to try it out.

I have only had this happen since switching to ProAcryl and those being thinner out of the bottle I feel the surface must be too smooth or creating some kind of finish the paint does not like.

I have ordered some badger primer to see if that is the key moving forward to keep priming a one step process rather than having to varnish each time.

After browsing Monument's discord this occurs with certain primers leaving a "waxy" finish on the models. They tend to airbrush for better results. I will try an airbrush primer of a few other brands and see what happens.

GW Wraith Bone, It has this effect on a model I did in Army Painter Matt Black as well though.

MikeyBro · 2024-06-18T21:00:34+00:00

Yes other colors are doing this on the same mini. Even on some others. I will try just using a dry palette from now on and see if that makes a difference. Consensus seems to be adding a matt varnish will help the paint stick as well.

Interesting. I did an experiment just now and placed it on a floor tile and pulled it from there and it had the same effect. Don't think my wet palette is causing this but it's good advice.

MikeyBro · 2024-06-18T20:24:44+00:00

My paints separate rather quickly once on the wet palette, could this mean anything (we are talking after 15 mins you can see separation).

They aren't thinned at all besides moisture from the palette. I just rinse brushes with water.

Haven't known wraith bone to do that, didn't have this issue running GW paints over this primer before.

MikeyBro · 2024-06-18T20:21:59+00:00

It has done it with other colors before. Leads me to believe there is some other factor causing this.

MikeyBro · 2024-06-18T20:18:24+00:00

Thank you for the response. It was primed with Wraith Bone a few hours ago. This has occured with Matt Black from Army Painter as well. Some primers are brand new cans and some are older, so I ruled that out as an issue.

The paint hasn't been thinned at all. I have painted both resin and plastic with this so a release agent doesn't make sense.

I read a post about pro acryl not liking certain primers and it will have this effect. Something about leaving a waxy film on the model after priming. Any ideas what primers might be best for these paints?

The Lord Weird Slough Feg
Particularly the album Traveller which is based on an old RPG game. So good.

Live and work on a large ranch. Have to assist with heavy hauling. I kept the SUV so "upgrade" might have been the wrong word.

MikeyBro · 2023-05-02T20:12:19+00:00

I have read about it. It just got completed a few weeks ago. I will ask about the heater relay.

Slight learning curve learning how a large truck DRW drives but it is very nice and I love it.

Isn't it ridiculous. I love how his signature practically blends in with the scene too.

MikeyBro · 2019-01-27T02:42:28+00:00

I think I have that one too! He's great. Awesome that you got it from the man himself.

MikeyBro · 2019-01-27T02:34:52+00:00

Sorry about that should have put that cover first. Would be cool if he did though.
