Abigail ★★★★★

No dilution needed at all, which saved me a ton of fiddling on my 0.2mm needle. The gray goes down smooth and flat, and it stuck to the resin pieces without any primer peeling later. Probably buying a second bottle before this one runs out.

Zoe V. ★★★★★

I brushed this straight onto a batch of resin minis and the gray base coat went on so smooth, no clumps or spitting at all. Dried fast enough that I could start layering mid-tones the same evening.

Julian V. ★★★★★

No dilution needed, which is huge when you're batch-painting a squad. It sprayed smooth straight from the bottle and dried quick enough that I could start layering the next color without waiting around.
