Colour Forge Matt White Spray Primer, 500ml

The Colour Forge Matt White Spray Primer is a professional-grade aerosol primer designed to create a clean, bright foundation for miniature painting. White primer is the preferred choice for hobbyists working with vibrant colour schemes, contrast paints, or highly saturated tones, because it maximizes brightness and colour clarity from the very first layer.

As a hugely versatile undercoat, matte white allows colours to appear more vivid and true compared to darker primers, making it especially effective for light armour, bright fabrics, glowing effects, and high-contrast painting techniques.

Formulated for smooth, even coverage, the primer produces a matte finish that provides excellent adhesion for acrylic paints while preserving fine sculpted details when applied in thin coats. The tried-and-tested formula is designed to perform on plastic, resin, and metal miniatures, delivering results comparable to leading hobby primers.

The high-capacity 500 ml can contains approximately 25% more paint than many standard hobby sprays, allowing painters to prime significantly more models and terrain pieces per can. Proper preparation — including thorough shaking and applying several light passes from about 20–30 cm away — ensures an even surface without obscuring details.

White primer is also ideal for techniques that rely on luminosity, such as speed paints, contrast-style painting, and layered highlights. For terrain projects, it serves as an excellent base for light stone, snow environments, or clean sci-fi surfaces where brightness is essential.
