Engineered for efficiency and precision, this matt black primer streamlines your workflow by combining pigment and primer in one spray, helping you achieve professional results quickly and effortlessly. ## Description Product Description Colour Primers Our Colour Primer spray is the perfect time-saving product that allows you to prime and give a base colour to your model simultaneously, saving you a lot of time. Our unique formula is specially designed to be used for miniature painting and can be used on metal and plastic as well as resin. The superb pigment quality makes the Colour Primers easily cover the first time. The colours are matt and dry quickly, making your freshly sprayed miniatures or models ready for painting almost right away. Shake Our Colour Primers are richly pigmented with superb, heavy pigments. This means that it is especially important to give our sprays a thorough shake prior to use. Make sure to shake the can for a full minute in a clockwise/counterclockwise semicircular motion. This motion is important to preserve the glass agitators contained in the can. Give the can a quick ex­tra shake now and again during use. Distance Be mindful of your distance when spraying your models. Colour Primers must be used at a distance of 15-20 cm, whereas varnishes must be used at a distance of at least 30cm. It is a good idea to line up your models, meaning you have more control of your spray distance! Randomly placed models might result in some models being sprayed too close while others from too far. Motion While spraying, make sure you move the can from side to side in a flowing motion. Start spraying to the side of the model, and move the spray across the model, ending the spray burst when you’ve passed the model. This wat you avoid overspraying your models in the highly pigmented Colour Primer. Don’t spray with short bursts but try to use even sweeps with the spray. Always make sure to do a test on an old model or sprue first. Clean Since Colour Prim­ers are a combination of tra­ditional primer and highly pigmented quality acrylic paint the spray is very different to use than other primers. Amongst this, it is sensitive to block­ing because of the thick paint jam­ming the nozzle. It is very important to clean the nozzle after each ended spray session, hold­ing the can upside down and spraying until only gas comes out.

Ready… set… spray! Also available: Speedpaint Review: Perfect primer - I don’t usually leave reviews but I had to for this. The best primer I’ve ever used. Even in the cold weather. It levels beautifully, like an airbrush primer would. But with all the strength of a rattle can primer and none of the fiddling of an airbrush primer. The Coverage is amazing too. One coat is enough. Review: Great paint for your plastic miniatures! - I was a little worried this may not be as good as some brands, I recently started my army and I went for this as the black I was after was sold out, I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked! It coated my army beautifully before I applied the fine details, will buy again! ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Causes skin irritation. - Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. - Extremely flammable aerosol. - May cause drowsiness or dizziness. - Pressurised container: May burst if heated. - Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Warning:Only for domestic use - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - UNIQUE COLOUR AND PERFECT MATCH This super fine pigment undercoat primer is perfect for any job requiring a matt black surface.

It is both a unique army green color that only Army Painter makes and a primer. You don't have to base coat, just prime and move on to shading and highlighting. It saves a step. **Q: I got a can of this 5 yrs ago and just recently used the last of it to prime reaper bones with no tac at all. Has the mix changed in 5 or still good?** A: Army painter primer is still the best and as far as i can tell, hasn’t changed in years. I’ve used quite a bit of their primers and paints over the years and have never been disappointed. **Q: Is it foam safe?** A: NO! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect primer *by R***B on 4 January 2021* I don’t usually leave reviews but I had to for this.
