I have a problem

Neophyte Age : 27 Joined : 19 May 2008 Posts : 68

Ok so I primed my Slaanesh Daemonettes and it didn't quite work out as planned. The paint was old, years old, and I probably shouldn't have use it but ya know. Problem is that they look like they have goose bumps, or pimples, or pollen, or whatever you wanna call it, but there's bumps all over them. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. Should I prime again with new paint? Same color? Or just try to paint and hope it smooths out? or is there another trick possibly?

you're problem may not be the paint so much as the humidity. Especially considering the weather this weekend...if you primed outside.

I find nothing really takes care of getting rid of the bumps except stripping and starting over.

I've tried a brass bristle brush to even the surface ( a soft one) and then paint over it. It was miserable. paint didn't flow correctly and I was still unhappy with the results.

wish I had better news for you CD.

that is something I don't have experience with .....stipping plastics. I think it is ok though ...but Id check other sources.

I use pine sol for plastic minis. But make sure to watch them very closely, checking every 4 hours or so. If you leave them too long they will most certainly melt (something the pine sol does to the GW plastic if exposed for too long).

Also, they something require pretty hard brushing with a toothbrush to clean completely. Which could break the fragile demonette models.

I always plug brush on primer in these situations. I did use spray primer for my Macharius, but most of the time, though, when it's really sticky, or cold, or rainy outside, it's nice to have Reaper brush on primer. The only thing that can happen with it is that you can make it too runny and it doesn't stay very well, or if you put too much on you can blur the details a little (not much though). Then, you prime one, and while it's drying, you prime a second, and by the time you're done with the second, the first is ready to paint, and you don't have to get up from your seat! Smile

But, yeah, sounds like you need to strip them down and start over Sad

Totally agree Joe.

If it was overly humid I would either A. Brush on or B. wait and do a ton of priming on a "good" day outside.

I just used Liquitex Black/white/Grey Gesso - thinned to prime.

ok so I guess I learned my lesson, can't get better without a few bumps in the road, or bumps on the slaanesh
