Mini review. Krylon primer and gloss sealer.

Over the Christmas break, I started my Everblight boxed set. I picked up some primer and sealer.

I primed pLylyth with the flat black. The paint went on smooth and matte. Excellent black primer. I will be using this in the future for my black priming.

I primed her warbeasts in the flat white. This went on a bit gunky and a bit gloss. After drying, the results were adequate. Not as good as the flat black, but acceptable. I will use this in the future if there is no better white primer available.

I finished pLylyth and gave her a coat of the Krylon Colormaster Acrylic Clear Gloss.

This went on extremely well, even though the humidity was 86%. I did use a green army man to test the gloss before blasting it on Lylyth! I can't stress this enough: It's much better to see a 25cent plastic army man get a frosted coat, than your newly painted miniature! 
The colormaster gloss is excellent, and I'll be using it in the future as well.

After the gloss coat dries, I"ll give Lylyth a coat of Testors Dullcote to take off the shine, while leaving a nice protective layer underneath.
