Montana Gold Spray Paint

Montana Gold Spray Paint are matt , opaque, and fast drying. Montana Gold Spray Paints are extremely high quality acrylic spray paints made in Germany that will resist fading for many years. They feature a newly developed level cap system, combining low and high pressure performance in the same can (similar to a double action airbrush) They offer minimal dripping and running. Montana Gold Spray Paint is available in an amazing range of 91 colors. Great for rattle-can art, signs, murals or any home decorating or craft project. Don't confuse Montana gold 400 ml. cans with the small 100 ml. cans and the lower grades of Montana paints from Spain that are being sold out there. Montana Gold Spray Paints are low odor, however they should be used in a well ventilated area or a respirator should be used when applying. Cans come with a spray nozzle. Additional spray nozzles of various spray widths can be purchased separately.

IMPORTANT: There is a safety ring that sits under the nozzle to keep it from spraying during shipment. Before use, remove the nozzle and tip the can upside-down to remove the ring. Replace the nozzle, shake well, and you're ready to go!

Just in case there are any bombers or writers here on the site, if you havent tried them yet the Montana Gold Cans make a pretty good primer paint! Not only that but they come in MANY different colors! AND best of all.... at $8 a can, HALF the price of GW primer!

Remeber to go easy on the coats and you wont have problems with gritty coverage...although it does give more "bite" for your paint to stick to.

Is this actually primer, or is it just paint?

[Draykin]

It is Graffiti paint...not ment as primer but works fairly well...and is not too hard on the wallet.

paint is not primer.

There are plenty of other primers you can use that are cheaper than GW.

[Draykin]

Yes but I didnt say it was a primer I just said it could be USED as one. I have used other primer paints, like KRYLON and FLOQUIL, although nicer than the Krylon and GW it is also more expencive than the Montana.

Also, since they come in so many colors you can prime your figs in the base color you want to paint them in and save some time. The choice of caps also allows for a better control of the rate of flow.

I have also found that if it is sprayed too far away it has a dusting effect...but if used closer it coats quite nicely. It just seems to take a bit of practice.

Well, the title of this thread is "liitle used primer", which indicates to me that it's a primer. It's not.

Calling it a primer doesn't make it a primer, nor does it make it act as one.

Sure, you can use it for an undercoat. But don't expect it to hold up like a primer does.

http://www.maximusinminimis.com/Primer%20Test.html is a study that one of the painters local to me did of various primers. He even included Krylon black spray paint (since people seem to use that as a primer). Note the results of using paint for primer.

If your main concern with your primers is cost, remember this -- you get what you pay for -- unless we're talking about GW, because apparently their logo will at least double the actual price of a product.

My preferred primer is Duplicolor Sandable Primer... You can find it in alot of automotive supply stores.... Good prices and very good coverage...

[Draykin]

I was just trying to post an option for people to try other than the norm. If you dont want to use it then dont. As for the adhesion, it is graffiti paint...its made to coat almost any surface. Think what citys have to go through to get it off of wood, brick or concrete.

I like the idea of more 'bite' for my paint to stick...I've had problems with some of the Krylon I used.

It's good to have choices.
