## Description

The Army Painter | Colour Primer | Acrylic Spray Matt Black 400 ml, Miniature Painting Primer : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Perfect primer - I don’t usually leave reviews but I had to for this. The best primer I’ve ever used. Even in the cold weather. It levels beautifully, like an airbrush primer would. But with all the strength of a rattle can primer and none of the fiddling of an airbrush primer. The Coverage is amazing too. One coat is enough.
Review: Great paint for your plastic miniatures! - I was a little worried this may not be as good as some brands, I recently started my army and I went for this as the black I was after was sold out, I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked! It coated my army beautifully before I applied the fine details, will buy again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: being that this is a spray is it still acrylic paint?**
A: Yes, this is acrylic.

**Q: Does this spray work as a primer?**
A: Yes. It is both a unique army green color that only Army Painter makes and a primer. You don't have to base coat, just prime and move on to shading and highlighting. It saves a step.

**Q: I got a can of this 5 yrs ago and just recently used the last of it to prime reaper bones with no tac at all. Has the mix changed in 5 or still good?**
A: Army painter primer is still the best and as far as i can tell, hasn’t changed in years.  I’ve used quite a bit of their primers and paints over the years and have never been disappointed.

**Q: Is it foam safe?**
A: NO!
