I would suggest using a grey to go over the black. Grey is a stronger color than white, and light enough that when white goes overtop, it just look like shading Show 15 successful trades as a buyer; To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight. It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from. Subject: Painting White over Black Primer  Painting Within the Lines +1 on the gray undercoat. You never want to paint white straight from the pot either. You will want to water it down and do each layer once the other has dried. If you dont wait for it to dry you will get streaks and clumps. This message was edited 1 time.

For ceramic white use grey, cold white use blues and a warm white (such as cloth) use browns. Never make a pure white, go for an almost white. It leaves room for highlighting as it's sort of hard to get brighter if you try to highlight a pure white. In the end the highlight will make it look like proper white anyway. Basically you want close, but not too close. Subject: Painting White over Black Primer Esteemed Veteran Space Marine well my video is more a test of the coverage then a how to paint white correctly... i agree with that the white would have the be the last highlight color for it but my vid does show its much, MUCH better then the old skull white Subject: Painting White over Black Primer Lady of the Lake Yeah with the old one I actually found better results going and buying cheap paint (KaiserColour) instead. Got much more for a third of the price. Subject: Painting White over Black Primer Gargantuan Gargant If Ulthuan is the new Astronomicon, then that's my tried and tested method, as well.
Subject: Painting White over Black Primer Longtime Dakkanaut You can but a thin layer of silver on first. The silver helps counters the light absorption of the black under coat and makes a really really clean white. Also if you dry brush the silver over the black it creates highlights in the white layers. Subject: Painting White over Black Primer Courageous Space Marine Captain Nope, Administratum= Celestra Grey. Ulthuan Grey is almost white. The only way to prove its not would be to paint white over and compare. I'm celebrating 8 years on Dakka Dakka! Credit to Castiel for banner. Thanks Cas! Subject: Painting White over Black Primer Grizzled Space Wolves Great Wolf In many cases I prefer pure white with a slight shade and no highlight. It doesn't look as deep as an "almost white" highlighted with pure white, but in some cases I prefer a pure white look as using an "almost white" looks more like an extremely pale grey/blue/brown rather than actual white to my eyes. But yeah, even with Ceramite White I find it takes a good 3 or 4 coats to get a really solid white over a dark colour, maybe even more if you want it nice and smooth. People saying 2 coats must be laying it on the thick side. You need to thin Ceramite quite a bit from the pot if you don't want a grainy finish. Usually if my model has any significant amount of white on it, I just undercoat white as it's far easier to repaint other areas darker over a white undercoat than it is to paint white over a black undercoat. You can also do the "paint it grey" first trick, though honestly I find that rarely saves me any time because the grey often takes a couple of coats anyway, and then the white another couple of coats over that. If you were trying to use the old "Skull White" paint then yeah, painting grey first would definitely speed things up. But at the end of the day with the new ceramite white it might only save you 1 coat to do grey first or possibly none at all, but if you really want a solid white which doesn't look smudgy or blotchy from either black showing through or using the paint too thick, prepare to do a lot of thin coats regardless of the method you use. Can you use white primer before black paint?Primer is used to cover up old paint and to prepare a wall to be painted. It is chemically engineered to help paint adhere to surfaces. If you're painting over a dark color wall with a light color, you need to use a white primer. If you're painting with a color that is a little bit darker, you should use a gray primer.
What color primer should you use for black paint?For darker paint colors, like black, dark blues and greens, and other dark colors, use a black primer. Black primers yield deep, vibrant colors, especially when the hues are dark and rich. If you choose a black primer as the base for a dark color, like black, it will take fewer coats of paint to fully cover your car.
Can I use white primer under black paint on wood?If you have a dark wooden dresser that you will be painting black, priming with white primer will have you running up to the top of the flight of stairs, before running all the way back down when you paint. This is wasted time, product, and effort that can easily be avoided with the proper colored primer.
Do you need to prime a wall before painting black?A primer or base coat is necessary to completely cover the darker colour and really make your wall look great.
