What to Compare Before Buying
- Primer colour: This version is Matt Black. Compare it with the base colour you want for the model or army project.
- Pack size: The can contains 400 ml, so check whether that amount suits the number of miniatures you plan to prime.
- Application method: This is a spray primer, so make sure you want an aerosol undercoat rather than a brush-on primer.
- Project type: It is aimed at miniature painting and tabletop gaming models, so check that it matches the surface and finish you want.
- Colour range: The range is described as having 24 colours, which may matter if you want a different primer shade.
Setup and Correct Use
The directions given with the product say to shake the can in a clockwise and counterclockwise motion for 1 minute, spray from 15 to 20 cm, apply multiple thin coats and let each coat dry in between.
After use, empty the nozzle upside down and store the can at room temperature. Avoid use in extreme heat, cold or humidity.
Before You Decide
Confirm that Matt Black is the primer colour you want, and check whether 400 ml suits the number of miniatures in your project. If you need a different shade, compare the other Colour Primer options in the range.
