## Overview

The Army Painter Colour Primer Ash Grey is a 400 ml fast-drying acrylic spray primer that perfectly matches The Army Painter Warpaints line. Its unique formula combines primer and pigment for superior coverage on metal, plastic, and resin miniatures, delivering a smooth matte finish that preserves fine details. Ideal for gamers and model painters seeking efficiency and professional results in one can.

## 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: 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!
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noob Friendly with Professional Results, Really
*by H***S on December 3, 2025*

I feared I'd spray my N scale models with blotches or whatever. That never happened, what happened were easy passes that resulted in a solid coat of primer without clogging any brick detailing Pros: - Very user friendly, even if you rarely ever use spraypaint (like me) - Relatively affordable - Excellent professional quality (even my cheap acrylics adhere to it just fine) - Sprays cleanly without feeling like you have to press down too hard (if you're doing short bursts on small objects, this matters a lot) Cons: - I really wish they'd add a rotating nozzle like newer spraycans have so we can decide how it sprays out Usage: - N Scale Train layouts using Resin prints, with ultra fine detailing - it does great
