FAQs
How long should I shake the can for?
You should shake the can thoroughly for at least 5 minutes to ensure all the pigment is properly mixed.
Why do I need to warm the can?
Warming the can helps the paint flow more smoothly and evenly, preventing sputtering and improving coverage. This is crucial for achieving the best finish.
What is the ideal distance to hold the can?
Hold the spray can approximately 12 inches (30 cm) from the model or surface you are painting.
How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?
After each use, invert the can and spray until clear propellant comes out. This clears any paint from the nozzle, preventing blockages.
Can I use this primer with any type of paint?
Yes, this primer is designed to work well with most hobby paints, including acrylics, enamels, and other common paint types used for miniatures and models.
What does 'colour matched to Games Workshop’s Averland Sunset' mean?
It means the shade of yellow in this spray paint is designed to be the same as the Averland Sunset paint offered by Games Workshop, allowing for color consistency in your projects.
Is this primer suitable for beginners?
Yes, while it requires specific preparation steps like warming, the spray application is straightforward, and the quality results make it suitable for beginners looking for a good primer.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Ensure the can was shaken for the full 5 minutes and adequately warmed. Check that the nozzle is clear by performing the post-use clearing step.
Paint beading or not adhering well
Ensure the surface to be painted is clean and free of dust or grease. Re-apply a thin, even coat, ensuring the can is at the correct distance.
Nozzle blockage
If the nozzle is blocked, try carefully removing it (if possible without damaging the can) and soaking it in a suitable solvent like isopropyl alcohol. Always perform the clear-out procedure after each use.
Frosting or patchy coverage
This can occur if the can is too cold or too far from the model. Ensure the warming steps are followed and maintain the recommended 12-inch distance during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is Key:
- Shake Thoroughly: Begin by shaking the can vigorously for a full 5 minutes to ensure the paint pigment is fully mixed.
- Warm the Can: For optimal spray consistency, warm the can. Pour warm (not boiling) water over the body of the can. Repeat this process until the paint inside reaches room temperature.
- Application: Hold the can approximately 12 inches (30 cm) away from the surface. Use short, sweeping passes to apply the paint evenly. Continue applying until the desired coverage is achieved, avoiding excessive buildup in one spot.
Compatibility:
This primer is designed for use on a wide variety of hobby materials, including plastic, resin, and metal miniatures and models. It serves as an excellent base for acrylic paints and other common hobby paint types.
Post-Use Care:
To prevent nozzle blockages and ensure the can is ready for future use:
- Invert the Can: Turn the can upside down.
- Spray Until Clear: Press the nozzle and spray until only clear propellant emerges. This clears any residual paint from the nozzle.
