Hi, just want to ask- when you all repaint a mini, and need to base coat it again, how do you stop the paint getting all over the bases?

Do you just spray it with the base anyway and then pain the base, pry each one off the base first, etc.?

If you are using a brush, you should be able to get away with it by being careful. At the very least, you should be able to mask the base with blue poster tack.

Is your plan to spray paint somehow with compressed air? (Airbrush or Coloured Spray Primer)

Are you against stripping the paint off the models first?
