The Army Painter Color Primer Spray Paint, Uniform Grey, 400ml, 13.5oz - Acrylic Spray Undercoat for Miniature Painting - Spray Primer for Plastic Miniatures

A solid primer to pick up/order when you need some, however, you can definitely find primers from your local hardware store for a far cheaper price that do just as good of a job. I think I got two cans of primer from Ace Hardware that was a fraction of the price for just one of these cans. This primer does dry pretty quickly too and has amazing coverage. It does last you a while if you use it properly.

I absolutely love Army Painter’s products, and the Uniform Grey primer is no exception—it's become my go-to base coat for all my Space Wolves. The coverage is smooth, consistent, and gives the perfect neutral tone to build up highlights and shadows. Ever since I started using this primer, every model has turned out better than the last. If you're working on Space Wolves (or any cool-toned army), this grey is a total game-changer!

Takes a few tries to get used to, but is perfect for rapidly priming stuff, especially large items. Overall very happy with it. Lots of fuel and uses, and dries fairly quickly, though not as fast as brush on. Color is as shown. Performance is great, adheres well to cured resin. And the coat seemed pretty scratchy proof and durable.

No spattering, used the can in a small to moderate application base, never had any messy sprays or over spray. Its one of the best covering primers I have ever used that is purpose built for minis.

For the amount of paint it's hard to find fault with this. It comes out evenly and finely and spreads quite cleanly. I would easily give it five stars if not for one somewhat serious problem which is the final finish. Not sure where the "sandy" or "very gritty" complaints come from because the final finish is still quite fine, but it definitely is not the flawless smooth finish of higher end primers like Taimya. Paint doesn't flow as easily and it has more of a "gritty" texture no matter how smooth the underlying plastic is. I'd compare it almost to armor texture used in some modeling work, it is definitely coarse but not unusably and work wreckingly so. Slap on two coats on the thick side and the problem nearly disappears so it's not a dealbreaker, and it actually looks pretty good for rough metals. I would not recommend the uniform grey color unless you're painting a grey army. It's difficult to work with on grey GW style plastic because it's nearly the same color as said plastic. If you want a neutral base go with white, but I would take advantage of the color primer part myself. It seriously is nearly a 100% match with their bottle paint set, the only real noticable difference is that they're not quite LITERALLY the same color and the finish is noticably different.

**I am a super beginner**I was always afraid to paint gunpla. So when i started war hammer, that fear transferred over. After watching a few of their videos I thought I would take the chance. I was pleasantly surprised. It went on easy as long as you read the instructions.

I've used a variety of primers for miniatures including GW spray primer, vallejo paint on primer and krylon primer. GW only comes in black and white and the white is garbage IMHO. The Vallejo paint on black primer is great, but white and grey are not very good. I had problems with bubbles and coverage. With the GW primer, I had mediocre results with it. I found that the AP primer went on very smooth and even. I would recommend this primer over the others.

Good quality primer. More in can than citadel primer.

I picked this up to prime my Blood Bowl miniatures, and let me tell you - it’s the quiet workhorse behind every great paint job. One smooth spray and my figures were ready for battle, paint, and whatever chaos the pitch throws at them. It’s like giving your minis a spa day before they get covered in tactical bruises and questionable team colours. The coverage is even, the grip is solid, and it dries faster than a halfling running from a troll. No clogging, no weird texture, no drama - just a clean, reliable base that makes painting a joy instead of a chore. I’ve used it on Orcs, Elves, and even that one Goblin who insists on moonwalking into the end zone. Every time, it holds up beautifully. If you want your minis to survive the painting process with dignity (and limbs intact), this primer’s your go-to.

this showed up in 2 days in perfect condition.

It really speeds things up, but it’s not suitable for small (and detailed) miniatures. You need to apply primer again with a brush afterward. If you insist on using spray, it creates a thick layer. Still, I am satisfied with the product. I recommend it.

This primer comes out nicely, has good coverage and is generally a smooth process from start to finish. Most issues with clogging can be solved by turning the can upside down and pressing the top against something that you dont mind getting paint on. The finish is easy to paint onto, I would reccomend leaving items for a few hours in a well-ventilated area before attempting to paint over the primer to avoid it being 'tacky' and causing issues. I would trust thearmypainter products for most wargaming or miniature applications, as once on this is not prone to chipping during standard play.

Army Painter Grey is my go-to primer for most of my miniature projects, it is a have must at the studio I always have at least one in stock at all times.
