Review: Noob Friendly with Professional Results, Really - I feared I'd spray my N scale models with blotches or whatever. That never happened, what happened were easy passes that resulted in a solid coat of primer without clogging any brick detailing Pros: - Very user friendly, even if you rarely ever use spraypaint (like me) - Relatively affordable - Excellent professional quality (even my cheap acrylics adhere to it just fine) - Sprays cleanly without feeling like you have to press down too hard (if you're doing short bursts on small objects, this matters a lot) Cons: - I really wish they'd add a rotating nozzle like newer spraycans have so we can decide how it sprays out Usage: - N Scale Train layouts using Resin prints, with ultra fine detailing - it does great
Review: 100% worth the cost. - Why should I pay 3x as much as I would at a hardware store? Well as with most TAP products, the paint quality is the absolute best. I just primed about 20 standard sized minis and barely made a dent. You shouldn't need more than one coat the coverage was so good I only needed to chase around little angles I missed. Like seriously, if you care about quality when painting minis there is no better primer on the market. The addition of essentially a base coat as well saves me plenty of time. I like necrotic flesh as a primer because it's a neutral greenish gray that can really go any direction. Looks somewhat like army sand color. I'll never use another kind of primer

## Features

- UNIQUE COLOUR AND PERFECT MATCH This super fine pigment undercoat primer is perfect for any job requiring a matt white surface. This primer is the perfect first step in The Army Painter's special method: Spray, Paint, Dip, Done. All our primer colours are made to match our range of paints with the same name. If you happen to overflow, simply clean up using Matt White paint from our range of acrylic paints.
- SAVE TIME AND MONEY All the primers from The Army Painter are an ingenious combination of traditional primers with highly pigmented colour sprays to save you time and money. No need for two different sprays, all you need is one Colour Primer.
- VERSATILE AND EXCELLENT COVERAGE PERFORMANCE The unique formula of Colour Primer Primers has been developed for use on any metal, plastic and resin figure, and for a perfect finish.
- ACRYLIC PAINT & QUICK DRYING All Primers of The Army Painter are matt and acrylic-based and dry very quickly. Please read the instructions on the spray can and clean the nozzle by spraying a little upside down after each use to ensure the longevity of any paint spray.
- Born from the game The wonderfull idea of The Army Painter originates from two wargaming and painting veterans, Bo Penstoft and Jonas Færing:"In the beginning, our goal was to produce paints and accessories that could take us from beginner level to experienced painters and gamers. Our goal with The Army Painter is to help you achieve fantastic painted figures and still have time to play!"
