What's the Best Black Primer for Miniatures?

-

I’m looking for recommendations on black spray primer for miniatures. I’ve heard that Chaos Black can be a bit shiny, while Abaddon Black is matte. Is there a good alternative that’s not from Citadel, like a reliable brand that others have had success with?

Totally agree about Rustoleum! It gets the job done without breaking the bank, and you can pick between matte, satin, or semi-gloss finishes depending on your preference. Works well for most projects.

If you’re looking for an affordable option, Rustoleum 2x black primer is a great choice. It’s about $6 a can and compares well with more expensive hobby brands. Plus, if you’re concerned about shininess, just remember to apply a thin brush coat of black afterward to get that solid finish—trust me, it helps with layering too!
