The Army Painter Colour Primer Plate Mail Metal 400 mL – Acrylic Spray Primer for Miniatures

Overview

The Army Painter Colour Primer Plate Mail Metal is a 400 mL acrylic spray undercoat designed to prime miniatures with ease. It is formulated to match the Warpaints line of the same name, helping your base layer align with your chosen color palette from the start. The ultra fine pigment delivers a smooth base on metal, plastic and resin surfaces, ready for the next steps in painting or tabletop setups.

Key advantages that make this primer a popular choice among hobbyists include time saving and a versatile finish. By combining primer and pigment in one spray, you may streamline your workflow and reduce the number of products you need in your toolkit. The acrylic formula dries to a matte surface, leaving your models ready for shading, layering, and edge highlights.
