The Army Painter, Colour Primer Matt Black, 400 ml Acrylic Undercoat Spray Paint for Miniature Painting Color Primer for Wargames, DnD & Warhammer

To my mind this is the best primer for the money for miniatures. I've tried Citadel and Humbrol and this wins on both quality and value. It dries quickly and the coverage is even and I've had no problem with the texture. I use this with Vallejo paints and its great.

I like the army painter stuff and this is not exception. Works well covers great.

This does the same job as the more expensive branded primers plus you get much more in a can; and you’re not compromising on the quality of the paint either. The primer itself is easy to apply, but just ensure you shake it well otherwise it’ll come out thickly and ruin the surface. It doesn’t dry quick nor slow, around a couple of hours would be fine. Just don’t leave it outside to dry or the surface will crack and turn blue!

We ordered this to base coat a large Orc Mech figure our 11 year old was given for his birthday. It sprayed beautifully, covered well and had very little run off. A lovely deep matt black colour and coverage, enabling detailed painting over the top and accenting. Plemty left in the can after doing 2 coats on the large figure so he will be able to do plenty more figures from the same can.

Great paint i used it to paint my pig

Good coverage and finish. Recommend you wear a mask or spray outside as smell is strong. Will buy again.

Perfect black primer for ur miniatures

Absolutely nothing good to say about this primer. I'm not sure if I've got a duff one or they're all like this. I tried to use it with no success, put it to one side and tried it in better weather conditions to give it the benefit of the doubt. Sadly even when following its instructions to the letter the result is poor. Spray flow is in inconsistent and it often splutters. I've primed one mini with it and the primers going in the bin. Spend a little more and get a reliable primer

Die Grundierung ist Top und wie erwartet super Verlauf Konturen sind gestochen zu erkennen so soll es sein

Works great and easy in use

I started painting minis by using paint on black primer for awhile. Eventually decided to try this and it's a way better option! Very important to shake it for a minute or so and spray out before using on minis. I spray from above and find the consistency of the primer coat is so much more even then when I did it by hand. It's easy to miss spots, so I'll check the mini from all angles before moving on. Good for dark characters and shadow layer in slapchop style.

Uso prodotti Army Painter da tempo, ma questo spray primer mi ha davvero sorpreso per la qualità e la facilità d’uso. L’ho testato su miniature in plastica e resina, e il risultato è stato sempre impeccabile. 🎨 Copertura e resa: La copertura è uniforme già con una passata leggera. Il primer aderisce perfettamente senza colature né zone lucide, mantenendo intatti anche i dettagli più fini delle miniature. Il colore di fondo è opaco, perfetto per ricevere vernici acriliche — sia della stessa Army Painter che di altre marche. Si asciuga in circa 10–15 minuti e lascia una superficie liscia e resistente. 🧴 Qualità dello spray: La valvola è precisa e costante, non “sputa” prodotto e permette di dosare bene la quantità. La resa è pulita, senza eccessi di polvere o accumuli. Il primer aderisce bene anche su miniature stampate in 3D (PLA o resina) dopo una leggera pulizia. L’odore è quello tipico degli spray, ma niente di eccessivo: basta usarlo in un luogo ventilato. 💬 In sintesi: Un primer spray di ottimo livello, affidabile, facile da usare e con una resa degna di prodotti professionali. Copertura perfetta, tempi rapidi e risultati costanti: il miglior compromesso tra qualità e prezzo nella fascia hobbistica. 👉 Consigliatissimo a chi vuole risultati puliti senza perdere tempo con primer liquidi o aerografo

It is an ok black primer, but it also tends to be drippy, so you need to shake it quite a lot before use. Better than the white primer by AP.
