"Primer:  You should be using it.  It will help with the paint peeling problem.  Primer sticks to the metal better than paint and acts as a surface for the paint to adhere to.  Without it your paint will continue to peel.  Varnish might help but in the long term you'll still have some problems with peeling paint. \n  \nUsing a base to hold your mini on while painting is essential for it keeps your skin oils from getting on the mini - which incidentally skin oils can cause peeling paint as well. \n  \nBefore you prime your minis you should at least be giving it a bath in some soapy warm water to get rid of any oily residues and mold release from the manufacturing process.  If those are left on they will cause peeling paint as well. \n  \nHope that helps. \n"
