The Army Painter Color Primer Matt White – 400ml Acrylic Spray Undercoat for Miniatures

Overview

The Army Painter Colour Primer Matt White (400ml) delivers a precise matte base designed to start your painting workflow right. Its ultra-fine pigment ensures a smooth, even surface that reads cleanly under subsequent layers of paint. This primer aligns with The Army Painter’s system—Spray, Paint, Dip, Done—providing a consistent experience from first coat to final highlight.

Why choose Colour Primer Matt White

• Color-matched primers: Each Colour Primer is formulated to pair with the corresponding Army Painter paints with the same name, helping you keep color decisions straightforward.
• Time and money savings: A single primer that combines the benefits of traditional primers with a pigment-rich spray means fewer products and fewer steps.
• Versatile coverage: Engineered to perform on metal, plastic, and resin figures, this undercoat helps you achieve a dependable base for a wide range of models.
• Acrylic, quick-dry finish: The matte, acrylic-based formula dries quickly, and a brief nozzle-cleaning step extends spray longevity.

In practice, you can use this primer as the first step in the Spray, Paint, Dip, Done method. The fine spray lays down a uniform coat that highlights surface details and creates a high-quality base for subsequent paints. If you accidentally overflow, you can clean up using Matt White from the same paint family, so you don’t lose time re-spraying large areas.

Real-world use cases

• Starting a new tabletop army: a clean white base helps colors pop on metal or plastic figures.
• Detail work: the matte finish reduces glare, making edges and crevices easier to paint.
• Finishing touches: a uniform base supports shading and dry-brushing without streaks.

Tips for best results: follow the can’s instructions, and spray briefly upside down after use to protect the nozzle. The Army Painter team designed this Colour Primer to support both beginners and experienced hobbyists, helping you achieve good-looking figures without sacrificing playtime.

How to use

• Shake well; apply light, even coats from an appropriate distance.
• Let each coat dry according to can instructions before applying color paints.
• Clean the nozzle by spraying upside down after use.
• Incorporate into a Spray, Paint, Dip, Done workflow for consistent results.
