Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with the Colour Forge spray primer, ensure you follow these preparation and care steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
