FAQs

How long should I shake the spray can for?

You should shake the can vigorously for a minimum of 5 minutes to ensure the pigments and propellant are thoroughly mixed.

What is the recommended spraying distance?

Hold the can approximately 12 inches (30 cm) away from your model or surface for optimal, even coverage.

How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant is released. This clears the nozzle.

Can I use this primer on different materials?

Yes, this primer is suitable for use on plastic, resin, metal, and other common hobby materials.

What is the purpose of warming the can?

Warming the can to room temperature helps the paint flow smoothly and evenly, improving the quality of the spray finish and preventing clogs.

Is this primer compatible with all types of paint?

It is designed as an excellent base for acrylic paints, but generally works well with most hobby paints, including enamels.

What does 'colour matched to Games Workshop’s Grey Seer' mean?

It means the 'Death Rattle Green' colour is designed to be a similar shade to the 'Grey Seer' primer offered by Games Workshop, providing a consistent base for painters familiar with that colour.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Ensure the can has been shaken thoroughly for at least 5 minutes and is at room temperature. Hold the can at the recommended distance and use short, sweeping passes.

Primer not adhering properly

Make sure the surface of the model is clean and free from dust, grease, or mold release agent. Re-shake the can and try applying a slightly thinner coat.

Nozzle blockage

Always invert the can and spray until clear after use. If blockage occurs, try removing and cleaning the nozzle with appropriate solvent (e.g., warm water if using acrylic-based primer, or a specific paint thinner if recommended for the product type).

Coverage seems thin

Apply multiple thin coats rather than attempting to achieve full coverage in one go. Ensure even strokes and allow each coat to dry slightly before applying the next.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with the Colour Forge spray primer, ensure you follow these preparation and care steps:

  1. Preparation: Shake the can vigorously for at least 5 minutes. Warm the can by holding it under warm (not hot) running water or placing it in a container of warm water for several minutes until it reaches room temperature. This ensures the paint is properly mixed and at an optimal temperature for spraying.
  2. Application: Hold the can approximately 12 inches (30 cm) away from your model or surface. Apply the paint in short, even passes, sweeping across the model rather than holding the spray in one spot. Overlap each pass slightly to ensure complete and uniform coverage. Apply in thin coats rather than one thick coat to avoid obscuring details.
  3. Compatibility: This primer is designed for use on plastic, resin, metal, and other materials commonly used in hobby models and miniatures. It serves as an excellent base for acrylic paints, enamels, and other hobby-specific coatings.
  4. Care: After each use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant comes out. This clears the nozzle and prevents it from becoming blocked, ensuring the can is ready for your next project.
