The Perfect Primer for My Space Wolves!
I absolutely love Army Painter’s products, and the Uniform Grey primer is no exception—it's become my go-to base coat for all my Space Wolves. The coverage is smooth, consistent, and gives the perfect neutral tone to build up highlights and shadows. Ever since I started using this primer, every model has turned out better than the last. If you're working on Space Wolves (or any cool-toned army), this grey is a total game-changer!

Best primer I have used in a can for minis.
No spattering, used the can in a small to moderate application base, never had any messy sprays or over spray. Its one of the best covering primers I have ever used that is purpose built for minis.

Perfect for rapid priming
Takes a few tries to get used to, but is perfect for rapidly priming stuff, especially large items. Overall very happy with it. Lots of fuel and uses, and dries fairly quickly, though not as fast as brush on. Color is as shown. Performance is great, adheres well to cured resin. And the coat seemed pretty scratchy proof and durable.

Easy to use and paint
**I am a super beginner**I was always afraid to paint gunpla. So when i started war hammer, that fear transferred over. After watching a few of their videos I thought I would take the chance. I was pleasantly surprised. It went on easy as long as you read the instructions.

Good for the price
For the amount of paint it's hard to find fault with this. It comes out evenly and finely and spreads quite cleanly. I would easily give it five stars if not for one somewhat serious problem which is the final finish. Not sure where the "sandy" or "very gritty" complaints come from because the final finish is still quite fine, but it definitely is not the flawless smooth finish of higher end primers like Taimya. Paint doesn't flow as easily and it has more of a "gritty" texture no matter how smooth the underlying plastic is. I'd compare it almost to armor texture used in some modeling work, it is definitely coarse but not unusably and work wreckingly so. Slap on two coats on the thick side and the problem nearly disappears so it's not a dealbreaker, and it actually looks pretty good for rough metals. I would not recommend the uniform grey color unless you're painting a grey army. It's difficult to work with on grey GW style plastic because it's nearly the same color as said plastic. If you want a neutral base go with white, but I would take advantage of the color primer part myself. It seriously is nearly a 100% match with their bottle paint set, the only real noticable difference is that they're not quite LITERALLY the same color and the finish is noticably different.

Good quality primer. More in can than citadel primer.

Great bang for buck!
I really liked how easy it was to use. Painted all of my army I have right now and applied really easily and didn't leave any raised spots or goop up. Made the paint do exactly where I needed it to go! I'm sorry for the ones that didn't have a good experience with it! I will be using this product again.

The "Dark" Side
This isn't the primer you expected. It's better. I'm a hobbyist with a Creality LD-002R (3D printer), plenty of resin, and a lot of time on my hands. The models I print are often very intricate, with extremely fine details. I needed a primer that didn't create a lot of build-up while also providing full coverage. The Army Painter primer did exactly what I needed. It covered the printed pieces (even those hard to get to places) without sacrificing detail. I've never used a dark grey primer. It revealed every imperfection, while also providing the expected matte-finished texture. Pros: * Great coverage without build-up. * Dark Matte finish shows every imperfection * Resin 3D Printer compatible (Grey Elegoo washable resin) Cons: * More expensive than I had expected. (But it's worth it if you're a perfectionist.) * Bizarre anti-kid-cap. (You'll know what I mean when it arrives.)

I picked this up to prime my Blood Bowl miniatures, and let me tell you - it’s the quiet workhorse behind every great paint job. One smooth spray and my figures were ready for battle, paint, and whatever chaos the pitch throws at them. It’s like giving your minis a spa day before they get covered in tactical bruises and questionable team colours. The coverage is even, the grip is solid, and it dries faster than a halfling running from a troll. No clogging, no weird texture, no drama - just a clean, reliable base that makes painting a joy instead of a chore. I’ve used it on Orcs, Elves, and even that one Goblin who insists on moonwalking into the end zone. Every time, it holds up beautifully. If you want your minis to survive the painting process with dignity (and limbs intact), this primer’s your go-to.

It really speeds things up, but it’s not suitable for small (and detailed) miniatures. You need to apply primer again with a brush afterward. If you insist on using spray, it creates a thick layer. Still, I am satisfied with the product. I recommend it.

This primer comes out nicely, has good coverage and is generally a smooth process from start to finish. Most issues with clogging can be solved by turning the can upside down and pressing the top against something that you dont mind getting paint on. The finish is easy to paint onto, I would reccomend leaving items for a few hours in a well-ventilated area before attempting to paint over the primer to avoid it being 'tacky' and causing issues. I would trust thearmypainter products for most wargaming or miniature applications, as once on this is not prone to chipping during standard play.

Army Painter Grey is my go-to primer for most of my miniature projects, it is a have must at the studio I always have at least one in stock at all times.
