Review: Wow, after 2 quick sprays it looks amazing especially compared to the brush on kind, - So I have only ever used brush on primers, black is great an smooth, but white,,,,white brush on is awful, it bubbles, it takes a lot of detail away, or it is very/ very uneven, no matter how much time you spend trying to get it right, So after doing a ton of research this hands down seemed like the best option, especially for someone that doesn't wanna spend 25 or 30 bucks for some spray paint, also it doesn't feel like you sacrificing because of the lower cost, It is really smooth, easy to apply after shaking for a min or 2, an who doesn't love that sound, it is a bright white that will definitely brighten up a thinned down paint you put on top of it, One of citadels might be a bit more bright, but from reviews of it and the fact that the slightly more bright citadel one is mainly for contrast paint, reg mini paint seems to slide off it according to reviewers because of how contrast paint is made to run an seek recesses, so that primer is formulated for that kind of paint, and it is about 10 bucks more, The army painter one looks OK, but it also has a lot of bad reviews an also costs almost 10 dollars more, Witch for a newer painter who isn't 100 percent invested quite yet, or that has already spent a ton on the many other supplies you need to get into the hobby, This is a no brainer for a great white spray primer, Just give this one a try, I seriously doubt you will be disappointed.
Review: Until you move on to an airbrush, these are the best miniature primers to be had by far. - Every miniature paint maker makes their own primers. And if you're looking at the reviews on Tamiya primers, you've probably used at least one or two from (sounds like) James Herpdrop or Ah-mee Tayntor. In no way am I slamming their products, as I use them myself at least semi-regularly. But the truth is that once you try a can of Tamiya primer, you're going to be spoiled forever. These are extremely high quality primers with top-tier adhesion and coverage. Most importantly, the coverage is smooth as can be. Even in colder or warmer than normal conditions, these primers go on very nicely with no pebbling or gaps. As long as you know how to prime and have a little practice at it, these are practically foolproof. And having your minis primed at this kind of quality makes all the difference once you start painting. If you're not ready to leap to an airbrush or if you really never plan to use one, Tamiya really is as good as it gets. Their primers really are the gold standard.
