## Overview

The Army Painter Colour Primer Ash Grey is a 400mL fast-drying acrylic spray primer designed specifically for miniature painting. It offers excellent adhesion and coverage on metal, plastic, and resin surfaces, combining primer and color in one to streamline your workflow. Its unique Ash Grey tone provides a perfect matte basecoat for historical and futuristic models, making it a favorite among tabletop gamers and hobbyists seeking professional results with less effort.

## Description

Like it’s matching Warpaint, this Colour Primer is a light grey tone which is a perfect basecoat for historical uniforms and vehicles, and even chaff infantry of far-off futuristic forces. Ash Grey is a great alternative to Matt White for a more subdued Speedpaint basecoat.

Review: 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.
Review: 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable Matte, excellent on military RC vehicle models
*by N***R on February 9, 2026*

I build & operate remote control tanks. They have elaborate paint jobs and decals. I used the Army painter over brush painting and decals with very appealing effects on the overall finish. I applied two light-medium coats, 2 hrs apart.. and after sitting for 48 hrs it appears to be durable and permanent. Wont rub off with handling. Seems resilient to chipping too. It really ties together paint scheme and I highly recommend 2 light- medium coats. Not too heavy!
