FAQs
How long should I shake the can before use?
You should shake the can vigorously for at least 5 minutes to ensure all components are properly mixed before application.
How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?
After each use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant comes out. This clears any residual paint from the nozzle.
What is the best temperature to spray in?
It is best to spray in a well-ventilated area at room temperature (ideally between 15-25°C or 60-77°F). Avoid spraying in very cold, hot, or humid conditions.
Can I use this primer on different materials?
Yes, this spray primer is suitable for use on plastics, resins, metal, and primed wood, providing an excellent base for most hobby paints.
How far away should I hold the can when spraying?
Hold the can approximately 12 inches (30 cm) away from your model or surface for optimal, even coverage.
Does this spray paint match any specific color palettes?
Yes, the Tempest Blue color is specifically matched to Games Workshop's Grey Seer, making it ideal for users familiar with that color scheme.
What is the total volume of paint in the can?
Each can contains 500ml of spray primer paint.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy coverage
Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly for at least 5 minutes and warmed to room temperature. Hold the can at the recommended distance and apply in short, even passes. Apply multiple thin coats if necessary.
Paint is gritty or textured
This can happen if the paint is applied too thickly or in cold, humid conditions. Ensure proper can shaking and warming. Apply thinner coats and allow adequate drying time between them. Avoid spraying in adverse weather.
Nozzle is clogged
Immediately after use, invert the can and spray until clear propellant comes out. If already clogged, try soaking the nozzle in warm water or a solvent like isopropyl alcohol, then try clearing it with a fine pin.
Spray sputtering or not spraying consistently
Check if the can was shaken and warmed properly. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. If the issue persists, the propellant may be low, or the can might be faulty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Shake Thoroughly: Shake the can vigorously for at least 5 minutes to ensure the pigment and propellant are fully mixed.
- Warm the Can: Submerge the can in warm (not hot) water until the paint reaches room temperature. This helps with even spray distribution.
- Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a spray booth.
Application:
- Distance: Hold the can approximately 12 inches (30 cm) away from the model or surface.
- Coats: Apply in short, controlled bursts. Use sweeping motions to ensure an even coat. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
- Coverage: Continue applying until the surface is fully and evenly covered.
Post-Use Care:
- Clear Nozzle: After spraying, immediately turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant emerges. This prevents the nozzle from clogging.
Compatibility:
This spray primer is compatible with most hobby paints, including acrylics, enamels, and lacquers, when used as a primer base. It is suitable for plastics, resins, metal, and primed wood.
Care:
Store cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the nozzle is clear after each use to maintain performance.
