The Army Painter, Colour Primer Matt White, 400 ml Acrylic Spray Paint | Spray Paint Basecoat for Miniature Model Undercoat Priming, Plastic Wargames, DnD & Warhammer

The Army Painter Matt White Colour Primer is a superb choice for preparing miniatures before painting, especially for tabletop games like Warhammer, DnD, and other wargames. The 400ml can provides a smooth, even coat that adheres well to plastic, resin, and metal models, ensuring paint application is consistent and vibrant. The spray dries to a true matte white finish, which is perfect for bright color schemes or as a base for layering and washes. It also helps reduce the number of paint coats needed, saving both time and effort. The nozzle delivers a fine mist with minimal spatter, allowing for clean coverage on even the smallest details of a miniature. Drying time is quick, and the primer is durable enough to stand up to handling during gameplay and painting sessions. As with all spray paints, it’s best used in a well-ventilated area and with smooth, sweeping passes to avoid overcoating. If you want a reliable, high-quality primer that enhances your miniature painting results, this one is highly recommended.

Edit: Replacement can arrived so quickly and it works perfectly. Thank you Army Painter (and thank you Amazon - for the incredibly quick delivery). Actual Product Review: The finish from this paint is beautifully smooth and clean and I have found it to be durable. Application is easy and you get excellent coverage. I have used Army Painter spray paint on a whole swarm of models now and none of them have had any problems with chipping or peeling from handling, tabletop use or transport. Aside from the defective can, which appears to have been just 'one of those things' as opposed to any indication of brand quality, I been very pleased with Army Painter spray paint and recommend it. Note: Do watch or read the tutorials as it is slightly different to your typical spray paint - particularly if you regularly use other brands of spray paint (you have to be closer to the model than you would usually be) and do perform the cleaning at the end of spraying to maintain longevity of your can. Original review: The can I received just a few hours ago was defective. No pressure. Paint just dribbling out. Totally unusable. The first tin of Army Painter Spray I bought was great. Still going strong and I was really happy with it. This is the second I have bought, and it doesn't work at all. I will be happy to improve this review if the returns policy works effectively and the next can works as intended. 'Army Painter' was recommended to me as a reliable brand so I am hoping this was just a bad tin and I got unlucky. Third times the charm!

For the most part, excellent. I swear by AP’s other spray primers, they get a lovely gloss finish with a good colour, and it’s quite smooth without much hassle. Only really caveat is that I find the white primer comes out a little chalky? That might be user error, I may need to practice with some sprues, but you might need to get closer than the recommended distance to avoid that (and shake it like hell). The other colours are excellent, though.

Great product. Excellent coverage as long as you use it wisely and sparingly especially for military vehicle kits.

Very nice Paint spray covers well and ready for final coat.

Can recommendcthis item.

Paint arrived promptly as described very pleased with the supplier and would use again

Paint is great works well. the spray can however... I might have gotten a dodgy one but on second spray nozzel snapped and i somehow managed to spray my face red; including up my nose. The nozzel is one of the old school easily snappable stick types and after it broke the whole can had to be binned as the snapped off bit was stuck in end. Somewhat amusingly I totally looked like i'd trigged a money dye thingy that you see in heist movies. Oh yeh and thankfully had a ton of ipa alcohol to clean it off quickly as the primer is NOT water soluble, but IPA is way better than my immediate fear that i might have to use acetone on my Chevy.

I bought The Army Painter Color Primer in White to prep a black metal piece, and the results are fantastic. The coverage is impressive—it managed to mask the original black surface perfectly. What I loved most was how quickly it dried; it was touch-dry in just a few minutes, which really sped up my project. The finish is smooth and creates the perfect base for the final coat of paint. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional-grade primer

How is it possible that taking the lid off, could break the nozzle? The can was at 90% at least now is going to be wasted due to the bad quality design of the smallest part.

Love the paint, but if it’s ultra marine blue, why does it come out purple

Als Tabletop-Hobbyist ist eine gute Grundierung das A und O für jedes erfolgreiche Malprojekt. Ich habe im Laufe der Jahre viele verschiedene Sprays ausprobiert, von Baumarktprodukten bis hin zu spezialisierten Modellbau-Marken. Das "Colour Primer Matt White" von The Army Painter gehört definitiv in die Kategorie der Top-Performer, besonders wenn es um Zuverlässigkeit und ein echtes, sauberes Weiß geht. Konsistenz und Auftrag: Das Wichtigste bei einer Grundierung ist die Feinheit der Pigmente, und hier überzeugt das Army Painter Spray vollkommen. Die Sprühdose liefert einen sehr feinen und gleichmäßigen Sprühstrahl. Voraussetzung ist natürlich, dass man die Dose – wie bei jedem Primer – gut schüttelt (deutlich länger als man denkt!) und sie bei Raumtemperatur verwendet. Der Auftrag ist dünn und deckend zugleich. Es gibt nichts Schlimmeres, als wenn eine Grundierung feine Details auf den Miniaturen "zukleistert". Das ist hier nicht der Fall. Das Weiß legt sich hauchdünn auf die Oberfläche, behält aber gleichzeitig eine beeindruckende Deckkraft, sodass die graue oder farbige Basis des Plastiks oder Resins sofort verschwindet. Ich habe es sowohl auf Plastik- als auch auf Metallminiaturen verwendet, und die Haftung ist ausgezeichnet. Das Finish: Tiefes, mattes Weiß Der Name "Matt White" ist Programm. Das Finish ist tief matt, was ideal ist, da es später aufgetragene Farben besser "greifen" lässt und ein Leuchten der Grundfarbe verhindert. Das Weiß ist außerdem sehr rein und neutral, ohne einen gelblichen oder cremefarbenen Stich, was für mich entscheidend ist, da es die Farbwahrnehmung der nachfolgenden Schichten nicht verfälscht. Viele weiße Primer wirken nach dem Trocknen eher wie Eierschale, aber dieses hier bleibt strahlend und sauber. Handhabung und Ergiebigkeit: Die 400-ml-Dose hat eine gute Ergonomie und der Sprühkopf ist angenehm zu bedienen. Sie hält, was sie verspricht – ich komme damit erfahrungsgemäß durch eine ganze Armee oder eine große Anzahl kleinerer Projekte, was den Preis absolut rechtfertigt. Fazit: Der Army Painter Colour Primer Matt White ist ein unverzichtbares Werkzeug für jeden Miniaturenmaler, der eine zuverlässige, detailerhaltende und wirklich matte weiße Basis benötigt. Die Qualität ist konstant hoch, die Deckkraft ist hervorragend, und das Finish ist ideal für die nachfolgende Bemalung. Wer schnell und sauber grundieren will, ohne Details zu verlieren, liegt hier goldrichtig. Ein absolutes Muss in meiner Werkstatt.

Excellent product works great for miniatures. As long as you have a good technique your miniatures will be well primed and all the details on your miniatures will be perfectly there. BUT! this review rates the amazing customer service that I got from this seller, to solve the problem that I had. So cheers for them and be sure they won’t let you down.
