A quick comparison of some similar paints to Citadel Leadbelcher Spray, all tested out on the same basic pipe pieces. Also did some simple scratch tests for adhesion to smooth plastic without primer.

Just primed my droidekas in gunmetal and it turned out perfect! I’ve never primed anything so beautifully

Quite handy comparison , since Leadbelcher spray seems to unavailable in Europe since last August. Citadel hasn't been able to produce or keep stock of them for the 9th edition launch, the brexit new customs shenanigans, and the demand.

Hi ! Thank you for your experiment. Did you wash with soap your plastic pieces like we do a miniature ?

@hackshackgames 2 жыл бұрын

Nope. No wash or sanding, just paint from the can on raw plastic.

After Krylon paint primer messed up my treelord ancient and drycha, I vowed to just shell out the money for citadel’s reliable stuff

Yeah, only the 'fusion' line is truly plastic safe. I've used a lot of it though, and it's been entirely reliable. I've gotten bad texture grit from a couple of the Citadel primers. For most minis I use an airbrush and Badger's Stynylrez, which is fantastic. They have some metal colors in them, but they aren't so hot for color consistency and need a TON of shaking before each use.

Any issues with paint adherence? Heard metallic sprays often have such smooth finishing that non metallic acrylics have problems sticking

Not too many from these. Some had a bit of the 'grit' texture you can get with older white primers, and I wouldn't recommend them for detailed minis. I hit a copper from Kyrlon that was super fine and did have adhestion problems though.

@@gwkang7846 I don't think so, although it's been a couple of years since I did this. Think it was mostly just the Rustoleum that did.

If anyone is still looking for an alternative; Colour Forge Steelforge Silver. It’s colour matched to leadbelcher, sprays amazing and comes in a bigger can. I’d take it over the GW stuff any day.
