Colour Forge Standard Grey Spray Primer, 500ml

The Colour Forge Standard Grey Spray Primer is a professional-grade aerosol primer developed for miniature painters who need a dependable, all-purpose base coat. Its neutral mid-grey tone sits between black and white primers, allowing paint colours to remain accurate without becoming overly muted or excessively bright.

This balance makes it one of the most versatile primers available for hobbyists working across different armies, factions, and terrain types. Whether you are painting vibrant sci-fi armour, muted historical models, or natural stone scenery, Standard Grey provides a consistent foundation that preserves fine sculpted details while improving paint adhesion on plastic, resin, and metal miniatures.

Grey primer is widely considered the safest universal starting point because it combines the advantages of both black and white. It maintains colour fidelity while still providing enough coverage for lighter paints, making it especially useful for painters who switch between techniques such as layering, glazing, or speed painting.

The smooth matte finish grips acrylic paints effectively without obscuring surface detail when applied in thin coats. With its high-coverage formula and larger 500 ml can, this primer is particularly well suited for batch painting armies, large models, and terrain projects where efficiency and consistency matter.
