Colour Primer Spray by Army Painter — Angel Green (primer paint for miniatures)

Colour Primer Angel Green by Army Painter is a spray primer formulated for preparing miniatures and models for painting. It provides an even mid-green base coat that enhances paint adhesion and helps reveal sculpted details on plastic, resin and metal surfaces. The primer creates a consistent surface that makes subsequent layers — including base coats, washes and drybrushing — easier to apply and predict.

Advantages

This spray primer delivers uniform coverage and a fast-drying finish that reduces visible brush marks and improves the look of layered colours. The mid-green shade offers a neutral, pre-shaded effect for natural and military palettes, reducing the amount of paint required to achieve good coverage. It is suitable for use on common miniature materials and helps stabilise paint application on fine details.

Suitable for

• Plastic miniatures and kits
• Resin sculpts and cast models
• Metal miniatures and components
• Tabletop gaming figures and wargaming armies
• Hobby modelling projects that require a green base tone

How to use

Shake the can thoroughly before use and test-spray on scrap material to confirm spray pattern. Hold the spray can approximately 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) from the model and apply in short, even bursts while keeping the can in motion to avoid runs and pooling. Apply several light coats rather than a single heavy coat, allowing brief drying time between passes. Ensure the work area is well ventilated and protected from overspray.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean and assemble models before priming, remove mould lines, and avoid priming damp or dusty surfaces. After priming, allow the primer to cure fully before applying acrylic paints, washes or varnishes. Use outdoors or in a spray booth with appropriate respiratory protection.
