Yesterday I picked up a Bones serious werewolf. Fabulous quality on the casting I must say.
Havent switched over to any MSP yet because keep planing on waiting till order a complete set (yes shame on me.) Using a GW paint at 2 drops paint 1drop water thinking proceed to lay my first coat.. well attempted to anyway. I was having a serious issue getting the paint to adhere. Was getting lot pooling and just pushing the paint around leaving clear plastic underneath. I figure less thining might help but Im trying to raise my painting skill so dont want to glob it on straight from bottle.
Ive read some good reviews not needing primer with the Bones. So is it just the paint brand thats causing my issue?
Bones and none MSP paints?

Might just be too much water in your mix.

Could be what Inarah said, or just the brand as you mentioned (not that I want to disparage any manufacturer's paints). I think you would have much better success with the MSP.
Try it again, perhaps this time priming or just a light dusting of Dull Cote.

As a suggestion - try washing the figures first with water and a little bit of dish detergent - it could be mold release that is preventing the paint from sticking.
I do that with most plastics and resins anyway - it often helps, and can't hurt. :)
