FAQs
Is this primer safe for all miniature materials?
Yes, it is designed for use on plastic, resin, and metal miniatures common in the hobby industry.
Why do I need to warm the can?
Warming the can ensures the propellant is at the correct pressure and the paint flows smoothly, preventing sputtering and uneven application.
Can I paint over this primer immediately?
It is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour for the primer to fully cure and harden before applying brush paints.
What happens if I don't clear the nozzle?
Paint will dry inside the internal straw and nozzle assembly, rendering the can unusable for future sessions.
Does this require a separate varnish?
While the primer provides a durable base, applying a varnish after finishing your paint job is always recommended for extra protection.
Troubleshooting
The spray is coming out textured or 'fuzzy'.
This is typically caused by spraying from too far away or high humidity. Move closer to the model and ensure you are working in a dry, well-ventilated area.
The nozzle is blocked.
Soak the nozzle in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or brush cleaner for 15 minutes, then test spray.
Paint is running or pooling on the model.
You are holding the can too close or moving it too slowly. Use shorter, faster passes and keep the 12-inch distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Colour Forge primer, follow these critical steps:
- Preparation: Shake the can vigorously for a full five minutes to ensure the pigment and propellant are properly mixed. If the room is cold, warm the can by running it under warm (not boiling) water to bring the contents to room temperature.
- Application: Maintain a distance of 12 inches from your miniature. Use short, controlled bursts rather than a continuous stream. Move the can across the model rather than starting the spray directly on the surface to avoid pooling.
- Maintenance: Always clear the nozzle after your session by inverting the can and spraying until the output is clear. This prevents dried paint from clogging the nozzle for your next project.
