Halfords Black Matt Spray Review



So yes I know I haven't posted in quite some time, this has been a case of Illness (Month long chest infection) and working every hour I can in a low paid job.

Now I have been painting but nothing really Oldhammer related I'm afraid, a Abssyal Dwarf army for KoW is complete, a themed Undead army based on the Evil Dead films (Mostly Army of Darkness) and a some Horus Heresy Emperor's Children.

I'll will get round to posting about all 3 in due time, but today I have a product review for your pleasure.

When I first started hobby 23 years ago I used brush on Chaos Black paint as I'm sure alot of us did, then I moved Games Workshop Black Primer.

This is a solid choice as it typically does the job well if the expensive option.


After this I tried Army Painters range for a short while (2 cans worth) but I'm afraid I just couldn't work with the stuff.. The Cans block and need alot of care.

In other words aload of shit, plus the price since I would have to order over the net is around the same as GW's.

So I went back to GW's until 2 weeks ago,

And I found the perfect Black Spray!

Halfords!

See I've read about people using this spray before on various forums and just put it into the back on my mind.

It's funny though as I live a few 100 metres away from a Halfords.

The can itself comes in at £7.49 so we are already saving £2.01 per can of spray, but wait the can is also 100ml bigger. That means you are also getting 20% more then GW's Chaos Black. 

For the budget man inside me that amazing value.

So have you tryed various sprays? What's your take?

Anyway next postI promise I'll show off some toys :)
