FAQs
Does this primer work on metal miniatures?
Yes, Colour Forge primers are formulated to adhere well to both plastic and metal models.
How long should I wait before painting over the primer?
It is recommended to wait at least 15-30 minutes for the primer to fully cure and harden before applying your base layers.
Can I use this for outdoor terrain projects?
Yes, its durable finish makes it suitable for larger terrain items, though ensure you apply it in well-ventilated outdoor conditions.
Is the Governor Green finish glossy or matt?
It dries to a high-quality matt finish, which is ideal for further painting and shading.
Why is the spray pressure inconsistent?
If the can is near empty or cold, the pressure may drop. Shake the can well and ensure it is at room temperature.
Does this require a separate undercoat?
No, this is a primer and undercoat in one, designed to replace the need for additional priming steps.
Troubleshooting
The finish looks dusty or gritty
This is likely caused by spraying from too far away or in high temperatures. Try moving closer to the model or spraying in a cooler environment.
The spray nozzle is clogged
Remove the nozzle and soak it in a small amount of brush cleaner or acetone, then flush with warm water.
Paint is running or pooling on the model
You are applying too much paint at once. Use shorter, thinner bursts and keep the can moving constantly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a smooth, consistent matt finish
- Preserves fine structural details on miniatures
- Generous 500ml can size offers great value
- Strong adhesion for subsequent paint layers
- Reliable, high-pressure output prevents clogging
Cons
- Requires careful temperature management to avoid rough textures
- Strong odor requires a well-ventilated workspace
- Standard green color may require specific color-matching if doing touch-ups
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, always shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use to mix the pigments thoroughly. Use in an environment with a stable temperature between 15°C and 25°C and low humidity. If the ambient air is too cold, the paint may dry before reaching the model, causing a 'dusty' or 'fuzzy' texture. After each use, invert the can and spray for a second or two until clear gas escapes to clear the nozzle. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the propellant pressure.
