This works quite well! Excellent texture, adhesion, durability, and coverage, and it is quite easy to use! Perfect for those tiny miniatures, large busts, and even other painting projects...

It’s what you want
Does what it says on the tin - exactly; and well. The paint flows well and quickly, dries well and evenly as long as you know what you’re doing with a can.

The Primetime Performer
Let's just say this primer is the real deal. No fuss, no drama, just a perfect base coat for your miniatures. You spray it on, and it does exactly what it's supposed to. It covers everything evenly, dries fast, and gives you a flawless surface to start painting on.It's a simple product that does its job flawlessly, and in the world of hobbies, that’s all you can ask for. It’s perfect

It's primer. It primes. But why isn't the cap grey?
I have a one-star complaint. This primer, like all the Army Painter primers I've seen, has a white cap with a primer-colored spot on top. If you store the cans where you cannot see the top of the cap, they all look the same.So I primed the white cap to be grey. It's an easy fix, but come on, Army Painter. This seems like something YOU should take care of.The finish is matte, the coverage is nice and even, and the medium grey tone works quite well with Zenithal priming (grey all over first, then white from "zenith" only).

Would recommend!
This is really good primer paint for DND miniatures, it sticks well and makes painting a lot easier!

A Must-Have Finish for That Battle-Worn Look!
As I’ve improved my Space Wolves painting skills, I realized I wanted them to look like they’ve truly fought in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k—worn, weathered, and ready for war. Army Painter’s Matte Varnish delivered exactly what I needed. It beautifully tones down any unwanted shine, giving my models a gritty, realistic finish while also protecting all the hard work I’ve put into them. Once again, Army Painter had the perfect answer. I’m beyond happy with the results and highly recommend this to anyone looking to take their miniatures to the next level.

Poor Quality and Unpredictable results
Let's face it, when you put a lot of time into painting a miniature, you are already invested. That much time and effort deserve a good product.I've used Army Painter Quickshade on literally hundreds of miniatures with excellent results. (I tried using stain as a dipping method because it was so much cheaper but I wasn't happy with the results.) Because Quickshade gave such excellent results, I decided to use the partner product "Army Painter Anti-shine".The first can or two was okay, nothing fabulous but it really made the Quickshade look good. After a couple of cans, I got what I thought was a bad can and it sprayed white all over my miniatures. This experience was repeated on three more cans of the product out of four cans over a year or so. I always followed spraying instructions to the letter, but I stored the cans in the garage where I thought they might have been damaged because of extreme temperatures. (I'd had good results in the past, so it seemed logical.)I recently (September 2018) bought one last can, which cost $15 and took a full week to arrive because spray paint has to be delivered by ground. I kept the can in the house for a week until I had proper spraying weather and again, followed the directions to the letter, only to find white residue on newly painted and dipped miniatures.Very disappointing!I remembered that I had an old can of Krylon (clear flat) that was used for a Halloween craft project a couple of years ago in the garage. (Walmart, $4.97 for a 25% larger can... This spray had been exposed to the same elements the Anti-shine cans had.) I decided to try it on one miniature, so I picked one I didn't like as much and ten seconds later, it was perfect. No overspray. No shine. No extra coats. No waiting. Done perfectly at 1/3 the cost! I'm convinced! Anti-shine is simply not a reliable product, particularly for the price point.If you are a haven't tried Quickshade yet, by all means, do so. You won't regret it. It's definitely worth the extra cost, but do yourself, your wallet, and your miniatures a favor and stay away from Army Painter Anti-shine.I'd give it zero stars if I could.
