This Colour Primer is designed for wargamers and miniature painters looking to streamline their painting process. Its key benefit is combining a primer and a highly pigmented color coat in one spray, saving time and money. A potential caveat is the need to read the best-use guide on the can for optimal results. This product is an acrylic-based, matte primer with very fine pigment, compatible with metal, plastic, and resin miniatures, designed to match the Warpaints line.

The main advantage is that it functions as both a primer and a base color in a single spray can, significantly speeding up the initial stages of miniature painting and saving you the cost of buying separate primer and color sprays.
Yes, this primer is compatible with resin miniatures, which includes most 3D printed models. Ensure the print is properly cleaned of any uncured resin or support material residue before priming.
Immediately after use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant comes out. If it is already clogged, you can try soaking the nozzle in warm water or using a fine needle to gently clear the opening.
A standard primer only provides a base layer for paint adhesion. This Colour Primer does that *and* applies a highly pigmented color in one go, matching The Army Painter's color range.
It provides a satin finish, which is semi-glossy and offers a good balance between a completely flat matte and a high gloss. It's durable and a good surface for subsequent painting techniques.
The formula is designed to dry very quickly, typically within minutes, allowing you to proceed with other painting steps shortly after application, provided conditions are suitable.
Ideal conditions are a well-ventilated area at room temperature (around 15-25°C or 60-77°F) with moderate humidity. Avoid spraying in direct sunlight, extreme cold, or very humid environments.
Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly for at least 2-3 minutes. Maintain the correct spray distance (20-30 cm) and apply in thin, even coats. Check ambient temperature and humidity; avoid spraying in very cold, hot, or humid conditions.
Clean the nozzle immediately after each use by turning the can upside down and spraying until clear propellant comes out. If clogging has occurred, try soaking the nozzle in warm water or using a specialized nozzle cleaner.
Ensure the miniature surface is clean and free from grease, dust, or mold release agents. Avoid applying too thickly, as this can lead to poor adhesion. Re-prime after thoroughly cleaning the affected area.
The spray distance may have been too close, or the coats applied were too thick. Aim for lighter, more distant coats to preserve detail. Shake the can extremely well to ensure the finest pigment dispersion.
