FAQs
Do I need to prime my models before using this?
No, this product acts as both a primer and a color coat, providing excellent adhesion on its own.
Can I use this on resin and metal models?
Yes, Colour Forge sprays are formulated to adhere well to plastic, resin, and white metal miniatures.
How long should I wait before painting over the primer?
It is recommended to wait at least 30 to 60 minutes for the finish to fully cure and harden before applying brush paints.
Is the finish truly matte?
Yes, it is designed to be a high-quality matte finish, which is the industry standard for easier brush control.
Can I spray this if it is raining outside?
High humidity can affect the finish; it is best to avoid spraying in wet or highly humid conditions to prevent texture issues.
Troubleshooting
The finish appears dusty or gritty.
This usually indicates the paint dried before hitting the model; move closer (12 inches) or spray in a less humid/cooler environment.
The spray nozzle is blocked.
Soak the nozzle in isopropyl alcohol for 15 minutes, then clear it with a thin wire or replace the nozzle if clogged beyond repair.
The color is inconsistent or looks thin.
The pigment has likely settled; shake the can for an additional two minutes and ensure the can is at room temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results, start by shaking the can vigorously for a full five minutes to ensure the pigment is thoroughly mixed. If the can feels cold to the touch, let it sit in a room-temperature area until it warms up. Always prime in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a spray booth, while wearing a mask. When spraying, maintain a constant 12-inch distance to prevent the propellant from drying the paint before it hits the surface. After each session, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle until only clear gas comes out; this clears the internal straw and prevents the paint from drying inside the nozzle mechanism.
