Hey guys, just wondering if you use spray paint to undercoat or just do it with a brush. What do you prefer?

Personally, I brush it all. I don't undercoat either. I am currently using wood and I just go right at it. Now if I were back doing Warhammer models, than I use a flat underspray and then hand paint...

see, I used to paint warhammer models tool, and undercoat with the spray paint, allowing the paint to go on much easier.
I just dont understand why that cant apply to GIJoe figures as well.

Whats the major difference? because I think spraying on an undercoat on GIJoes would be much faster for me.

OH! You're talking about figures! Well, I can't answer that. All I know is that the acryllic paints that Warhammer uses chips easily. I've been told that Testors is the way to go. In any case, I never bothered with undercoat. I just went straight on, even if it took 3-4 coats.
