Primer spray, Army Painter Colour Primer Wolf Grey - 400ml aerosol

Army Painter Colour Primer Wolf Grey is a 400ml aerosol primer developed for miniatures and scale models. This spray primer creates a consistent mid-grey base layer that improves adhesion of acrylic paints and preserves fine sculpted details. Formulated for use on plastic, metal and resin surfaces, the primer accelerates basecoating and provides a neutral tone that aids in colour layering and highlighting during painting workflows.

Advantages

The aerosol delivers an even, thin coat that reduces brushwork required for initial coverage and helps prevent obscuring fine textures. Fast-drying properties shorten preparation time between primer and paint layers while the neutral wolf grey tone offers balanced contrast for both light and dark colour schemes. Compatibility with common miniature materials and straightforward spray application make it practical for hobbyists and model makers.

Suitable for

• Plastic tabletop miniatures and wargaming figures
• Metal and resin models and casting masters
• Scale models requiring a neutral mid-grey undercoat
• Projects where uniform basecoat and detail preservation are important

Key specifications

• Form: aerosol spray, 400 ml can
• Colour: mid-grey (wolf grey) designed as a neutral undercoat
• Surface compatibility: plastic, metal, resin
• Drying behaviour: fast-drying spray formulation suitable for layered acrylic paints
• Finish: even matte/flat base suitable for further paint adhesion and detailing

How to use

Shake the can thoroughly before use and test spray on a scrap piece to ensure nozzle and flow. Hold the can approximately 20–30 cm from the miniature or model and apply light, even passes to build a thin, uniform coat rather than a single heavy layer. Allow the primer to dry completely according to ambient conditions before applying acrylic paints. Use multiple thin coats if additional coverage is required, allowing brief drying between passes. Follow standard safety precautions for aerosol paints and work in a well-ventilated area.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean and degrease surfaces before priming and avoid priming in high humidity or direct sunlight. Use the wolf grey base when you need a neutral mid-tone that supports both shading and highlighting techniques; for darker or lighter schemes consider adjusting subsequent paint layers instead of heavy primer coats.
