The Army Painter, Colour Primer Matt Black, 400 ml Acrylic Spray Paint | Spray Paint Basecoat for Miniature Model Undercoat Priming, Plastic Wargames, DnD & Warhammer : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: Good product worth the price can be a bit expensive good luck - This product is good for sprain model kits before you actually pay them and put the detail on. I would highly recommend the spray it was expensive but well worth every penny. I don’t have an example because the kid I got I didn’t buy from desertcart so I can’t show it good luck.
Review: Superb primer - I use this for rattle-can priming miniatures and I really like it. I actually prefer it to Citadel Chaos Black, which I had been using previously. It gives me exactly what I want from a black primer and has become my go-to when I need a straightforward matt black base coat before painting. I’ve had consistently good results with it, and I find myself reaching for The Army Painter cans more and more. To be fair, I’m a big fan of The Army Painter range generally, and this primer is a good example of why. It does the job well, the finish suits miniature painting perfectly, and for me it offers a better overall experience than the Citadel equivalent. Very happy with it and I’ll definitely keep using it.

Avoid spraying in extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
- 🖌️ Continue painting with Warpaints Fanatic for traditional basecoats, layers and highlights, or add Speedpaint and other acrylic paints to build your colour scheme. Explore other Colour Primer shades to quickly establish the main colour of your miniature before painting.
