FAQs
Is this primer suitable for plastic and metal miniatures?
Yes, Colour Forge primer is formulated to adhere effectively to plastic, resin, and metal surfaces.
Do I need to prime with a brush after using this spray?
No, this is a dedicated primer designed to be the only base coat required before you begin painting your miniature.
Can I use this primer in cold weather?
It is recommended to use the product at room temperature. If it is too cold, the spray pattern may be inconsistent; warm the can slightly by soaking it in lukewarm water before use.
How long should I wait before painting over the primer?
Allow the primer to dry for at least 30-60 minutes, though waiting a full hour ensures the best curing before beginning your base colors.
Is the finish glossy or matte?
The finish is a professional-grade matte, which provides the best "tooth" for acrylic paints to stick to.
Troubleshooting
The spray nozzle is sputtering or clogging.
Clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly, or soak the nozzle tip in isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes.
The finish looks grainy or textured on the model.
This is often caused by spraying from too far away or in high-humidity conditions; move closer to the model and ensure you are working in a dry environment.
The primer is pooling in the details of the miniature.
You are applying too much paint at once; use shorter bursts and ensure you are keeping the can moving continuously across the subject.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, shake the canister vigorously for at least two minutes before your first spray to ensure the pigments are thoroughly mixed. Always perform a test spray on a piece of scrap plastic or cardboard to verify the flow.
- Compatibility: Compatible with most acrylic model paints and washes. Ensure your miniatures are clean and free of dust or oils before spraying.
- Care: After use, turn the can upside down and spray for two seconds to clear the nozzle. This prevents the paint from drying inside the mechanism and clogging it for your next session.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
