Priming
1. You must prime your minis outside. The vapors of aerosol sprays is harmful to your health. Find
a place away from walls so that you do not deface property.
2. Procure the lid of a shoe box or something larger. Make sure the lip of the lid is facing down so
that it will not interfere with your spraying.
3. Lay the minis face down on the box top. A shoe box will allow you to prime approx 4 - 5 standard
troop-sized minis . If you are priming larger models you should prime one at a time.
4. Spray across the line of minis twice making sure to start your blast before the minis and stopping
after. Do this at a 45 degree angle to the minis. This will prevent excessive paint obscuring the
details. Hold the can around 9-12 inches away. Too close and you'll get too much on the mini, too far
away and it'll get a dusty texture. Figure out what distance is good for you by experimenting with
different distances and speed of the pass.
5. Rotate the box top clockwise 90 degrees and repeat step 4. Do this step 3 times to cover all sides.
6. Allow the minis to dry and flip them onto their stomachs.
7. Repeat steps 4 -5.
8. Allow minis to dry.
9. Stand the minis up and spray them one last time from above. Hit any spots you've missed to this
point. If you don't get everything don't worry; you'll fix this during the undercoating.
