How to do the paint before the paint! We go over the basics of priming your models for best results. Pick up a bottle of our Pro Acryl PRIME at monumenthobbie... / monument_hobbies
Glad I’ve been doing most of this, I’ve been doing two coats but understand your way and going to try. I need to run a slightly higher pressure for priming but that might be a number of factors. Thank you also (as I mentioned to Warpgate Studios) for trying to keep this brand agnostic as a guide even though I regularly use Pro Acryl Prime and a number of your paints
So rubbing off is expected? Ive been trying to airbrush this stuff and finding even after a few days this stuff can rub off easily. I even am doing the whole wash minis in 99% Isopropyl alcohol an hour before priming. If a little rubbing off is expected I guess my next question is: will doing a base coat of a non primer on top make it more durable?
Definitely! The primer layer gives the model a better tooth than the smooth plastic / resin surface has. Then the first coat of paint locks all that in. Our primer is a lighter bond than rattle can, so that it cleans up easier and sprays much better.
@@MonumentHobbies thanks! I think I misunderstood greatly that airbrush primer should be close to spray can primer. I’m relieved I can stop stripping and starting over.
@@TheTwistedClarity airbrush primers give much better detail and lay flatter in most cases, but sacrifice a bit of initial strength. The color layers "lock" it all in and you get the same toughness in the end though.
I added a couple thin coats of army painter air paints and it is scratch proof! I have watched so many airbrush priming videos and read so many reddit posts and people relentlessly complain about this. I would suggest some mention about this on the bottle in the future. Its something that pros might be aware of and think is a non issue. But I was thinking I spent all this money on airbrushing just so I could prime inside in the upper midwest and then feel like I just wasted money. Mostly a me problem but Im sure plenty others do/will feel like me.
But now that I know it was a user misunderstanding and not the product or my technique I am very happy with the product. I love the paints, the retractable blade, and man the brushes are great for the price!

I’m excited for these!
Jeez what an egregious long intro
Thanks!
Will you guys ever do paint on Primer? Getting an airbrush can be prohibitive with living environments.
We are actually working on Black and White right now!
I'll be honest. I never worry about getting every nook and krany when I prime, but I don't have an airbrush and am stuck using spray cans.
Hows the durability compares to, like Badger's Stynlrez? I build gunpla as well as 40k minis so need a durable primer
what is the name/brand of your airbrush in the video?
We use our very own TG and XG series brushes made in collaboration with Grex

Paint the model before you paint the model😂😂😂
