The Army Painter Color Primer Spray Paint - Acrylic Spray Undercoat for Miniature Painting - Spray Primer for Plastic Miniatures (Deep Blue)

Army Painter's primers are a great option for speedy priming and basecoating of miniatures. It is not truly "matte", as there is a slight shine to the finish, but it can be covered up with a matte basecoat if you wish. my entire Aeldari army for Warhammer 40K is primed and basecoated in Army Painter Matt Black, which i highly reccomend for it's smooth finish and ease of access.

Perfect to use with light layers that don't clog up details. Dries fairly quickly and has great color match with the paint series.

I'm on my second can. After a thorough shake it goes on smoothly and does a good job penetrating into nooks and crannies, even on complex miniatures.

Fantastic primer for miniature painting!

I use a good amount of spray primers and use mostly the Army Painter brand. They work well. Even spray, good coverage, terrific colors and allows other paint to coat and finish very well. My only issues are with the can, not the paint. The top cap can be difficult to get off the first time. You need to cut it as the perforation tab does not separate easily at all and if you pull too hard you can knock the spray nozzle off when pulling it open. If you are not careful putting the nozzle back in, it can damage the insert and the can will spray out until it's empty with no control. It seems like a very simple thing to fix. That being said, I will continue to use them as the paint itself works very well, just be careful getting the cap off.

Army Painter paints are my favorite hobby paints, which is what makes this such a hard review to write. As much as I love their paint, I hate their spray nozzles. They are easily the worst spray nozzles that I've ever used. At least half -- at least -- clog during use, sometimes to the point where the can becomes unusable. I've had to throw out half-used cans of paint because they've clogged so badly. They could learn a LOT from Citadel's nozzles. I'm not a huge fan of Citadel paints, but I use their black and white primers, and their nozzles are excellent. Like I said at the offset, Army Painter is hands-down my favorite paint... I only wish I could get it out of the cans in an even and reliable manner.EDIT: I’ve recently had some conversations with Army Painter and they’re working on new nozzles and have sent me some free replacement nozzles for my clogged cans. I’ve got to give credit where it’s due, and with the nozzle issue worked out, I’m going to give them an extra star for great customer service. They also taught me how to clean their nozzles after use, so kudos all around to Army Painter.

Amazing coverage

I paint a lot of miniatures and this product works well for metal and printed miniatures. IT DOES NOT work well with the BONES miniatures from Reaper. Use their paint for this spray will not dry on that material. Nothing bad about Reaper. Great stuff, just this spray paint won't mix with that plastic. Citadel and other plastic, this product is fantastic. Resin, PLA and PETG works good. No problems. New nozzle setup keeps pretty clean too. Its a little more in cost but worth the price when it comes to painting.
