Fantastic Product
Worked like a charm. Smooth, even, coats that preserve the detail on the figures. I’ve seen complaints about clumping, but I think people aren’t reading the directions. Every time I use it, I shake the can back and forth clockwise/counter clockwise for the full minute suggested and I’ve had zero issues. Will buy again!

Excellent Product
Excellent coverage. Excellent adhesion. Be advised: it does lay the paint on thick if you get too close to the mini. $10 less than the citadel at time of purchase and honestly a better product. More satin than flat, I would say but still a deep rich black. I like the satin because it picks up highlights more, but if you're looking for a super flat flat, this is not the one.

Good stuff! Easier than painting primer on and looks better
I started painting minis by using paint on black primer for awhile. Eventually decided to try this and it's a way better option! Very important to shake it for a minute or so and spray out before using on minis. I spray from above and find the consistency of the primer coat is so much more even then when I did it by hand. It's easy to miss spots, so I'll check the mini from all angles before moving on. Good for dark characters and shadow layer in slapchop style.

good could be better but works well then used properly
works well for priming miniature but if instructions are not followed properly it can create splotches and texture there were no leaks the color is a good white it is easy to apply to clean models and it looks fantastic when smoothly applied make sure prep everything as to get the best result and the paint is not easily removed from models

Exactly what I needed
A bit spotty but ended up turning out great! Be careful with it, but I haven’t been able to find a color quite like this anywhere else. Okay, yes, it wasn’t perfectly steady, and if you want to touch up a bit, it makes it way worse because it has kind of a plasticky, almost rubbery kind of coagulation, but the end result was fantastic, and if you’re patient with layering, you can really make it work. I needed this exact color, so this was really the only choice, and I’m glad I made it!

Works great, only concern is price
Works great, dries fairly quickly, and lasts for a good amount of minis. Sometimes struggles to get all the areas of the mini evenly but this is more of a skill issue on my end than on that of the pain. Sprays well, doesn't seem to leak. Smells strongly so I recommend you use it outside. My only real issue with it is that it feels a little overly pricey even for what I got, but I understand production systems play a part and beyond that have no real concerns.

Absolutely GARBAGE!
Using the brand-new can of this primer, I initially sprayed the underside of the pictured vehicle. The paint dried glossy instead of the anticipated flat. I then went to spray the topside of the vehicle. When I pulled the can's cap off the spray-head/nozzle came off with it! I tried several times to put the spray-head back into the paint port of the can, but it just wouldn't go back in, which led me to suspect that it didn't just pull out - it BROKE OFF!! On my final attempt to replace the spray-head, it flew off out of my grasp and the can started unconsolably spraying paint straight upwards out of the can's paint port. It continued spraying until the entire contents of the can were gone. Time to consider another brand of spray primer for miniatures!!!

Exceptional Customer Service!
I purchased and received a can of primer that had a defective nozzle, and Amazon was unable to provide a return or exchange. I reached out to The Army Painter support team directly and received a prompt response from Iben. They handled the situation professionally, explained their quality control process, and verified my information quickly. I received a replacement can within a week. It is clear this company stands by its products and values its customers. Their direct support far exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them for both their paints and their commitment to service. I have been painting miniatures for over 30 years and i FULLY ENDORSE THIS BRAND!! This Mat White Primer is GORGEOUS! I'm doing an all black and white set for D&D so the primer is essential for this project and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. The Arm Painter has made me a loyal customer for life!

Top - Grundierung
Zum Grundieren von Miniaturen eignet sich diese Grundierung super. Sie lässt sich super einfach auftragen und deckt sofort. Sie fließt auch hervorragend in kleine Vertiefungen ohne diese dabei auszufüllen und die Struktur der Figur zu verdecken. Die im Anschluss aufgetragenen Farben halten sehr gut. Man sieht die Grundierung auch nicht durch, egal ob nach der Grundierung mit dunklen oder hellen Farben gearbeitet wird. Die Grundierung mit dem Spray spart im vergleich zum Pinsel enorm viel Zeit. Ich habe die Grundierung bislang nur auf Kunststoff verwendet zu anderen Materialien kann ich keine Aussage treffen.

Goid Primer
I bought The Army Painter Color Primer in White to prep a black metal piece, and the results are fantastic. The coverage is impressive—it managed to mask the original black surface perfectly. What I loved most was how quickly it dried; it was touch-dry in just a few minutes, which really sped up my project. The finish is smooth and creates the perfect base for the final coat of paint. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional-grade primer

Está muy bien pero
Compro cualquier clase de imprimación oscilando entre 4-8 euros, de buena calidad. El precio me parece levemente exagerado, pero el producto es bastante bueno.
