Review: Stavo cercando un buon prodotto per rifinire i modelli che stampo in 3D e coloro e sono incappato in questo. Il prezzo non e' proprio economico ma neanche oltre la media dei prodotti decenti. E devo dire che questo non e' decente, ma e' superbo. Con letteralmente due leggerissime passate a distanza di 15 minuti l'un l'altra il modello e' venuto benissimo senza alcuna sbavatura. E ne ho usato davvero poco. Mi serviva come finitura per un busto appena dipinto (come primo oggetto su cui testarlo) per dargli un po' di protezione contro i vari agenti atmosferici quali umidita' e freddo, o il molto caldo d'estate (anche se ovviamente lo tengo dentro casa) Il risultato ripeto e' perfetto. Al tatto e' leggermente ruvido ma si sente che c'e' uno strato a protezione dei colori e da anche quell'effetto satinato che mi piace un sacco. Per tutti quelli che stampano 3D e cercano una finitura superba con 2 spruzzate senza spendere un patrimonio... Beh, siete nella giusta pagina.
Review: I bought The Army Painter Color Primer in White to prep a black metal piece, and the results are fantastic. The coverage is impressive—it managed to mask the original black surface perfectly. What I loved most was how quickly it dried; it was touch-dry in just a few minutes, which really sped up my project. The finish is smooth and creates the perfect base for the final coat of paint. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional-grade primer

Our goal with The Army Painter is to help you achieve fantastic painted figures and still have time to play!"

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am new to painting miniatures but what is the difference between buying this and primer from Walmart**
A: Since you're new, nothing. Most cheap auto primer goes on thin, which is bad for cars, but good for mini's. Read painting articles on primer, and you'll find that the inexpensive stuff is fine. Krylon has a brown Camouflage line of spray paint which I also recommend.

**Q: Am I able to sand this primer ?**
A: Sure. I don't see why not. Would probably depend on just how heavy you go with it.

**Q: Can you use this safely in a room, with open windows and AC?**
A: If you mean "safely" as in no brain damage or explosions, sure, but 1) your AC is circulating air inside your house, not outside, and 2) you still have paint particles floating about your room to land on other surfaces.

**Q: Could this be used as a primer for laser cut mdf/wooden model kits?**
A: yea i used it on micro arts stuff

*by K***S on 13 October 2025*

Als Tabletop-Hobbyist ist eine gute Grundierung das A und O für jedes erfolgreiche Malprojekt. Ich habe im Laufe der Jahre viele verschiedene Sprays ausprobiert, von Baumarktprodukten bis hin zu spezialisierten Modellbau-Marken. Das "Colour Primer Matt White" von The Army Painter gehört definitiv in die Kategorie der Top-Performer, besonders wenn es um Zuverlässigkeit und ein echtes, sauberes Weiß geht. Konsistenz und Auftrag: Das Wichtigste bei einer Grundierung ist die Feinheit der Pigmente, und hier überzeugt das Army Painter Spray vollkommen. Die Sprühdose liefert einen sehr feinen und gleichmäßigen Sprühstrahl. Voraussetzung ist natürlich, dass man die Dose – wie bei jedem Primer – gut schüttelt (deutlich länger als man denkt!) und sie bei Raumtemperatur verwendet. Der Auftrag ist dünn und deckend zugleich. Es gibt nichts Schlimmeres, als wenn eine Grundierung feine Details auf den Miniaturen "zukleistert". Das ist hier nicht der Fall. Das Weiß legt sich hauchdünn auf die Oberfläche, behält aber gleichzeitig eine beeindruckende Deckkraft, sodass die graue oder farbige Basis des Plastiks oder Resins sofort verschwindet. Ich habe es sowohl auf Plastik- als auch auf Metallminiaturen verwendet, und die Haftung ist ausgezeichnet. Das Finish: Tiefes, mattes Weiß Der Name "Matt White" ist Programm. Das Finish ist tief matt, was ideal ist, da es später aufgetragene Farben besser "greifen" lässt und ein Leuchten der Grundfarbe verhindert. Das Weiß ist außerdem sehr rein und neutral, ohne einen gelblichen oder cremefarbenen Stich, was für mich entscheidend ist, da es die Farbwahrnehmung der nachfolgenden Schichten nicht verfälscht. Viele weiße Primer wirken nach dem Trocknen eher wie Eierschale, aber dieses hier bleibt strahlend und sauber. Handhabung und Ergiebigkeit: Die 400-ml-Dose hat eine gute Ergonomie und der Sprühkopf ist angenehm zu bedienen. Sie hält, was sie verspricht – ich komme damit erfahrungsgemäß durch eine ganze Armee oder eine große Anzahl kleinerer Projekte, was den Preis absolut rechtfertigt. Fazit: Der Army Painter Colour Primer Matt White ist ein unverzichtbares Werkzeug für jeden Miniaturenmaler, der eine zuverlässige, detailerhaltende und wirklich matte weiße Basis benötigt. Die Qualität ist konstant hoch, die Deckkraft ist hervorragend, und das Finish ist ideal für die nachfolgende Bemalung. Wer schnell und sauber grundieren will, ohne Details zu verlieren, liegt hier goldrichtig. Ein absolutes Muss in meiner Werkstatt.
