Army Painter: Gun Metal 400ml

The Army Painter Gun Metal Colour Primer Spray

Prime and basecoat your metallic miniatures in a single step. The Army Painter Gun Metal Colour Primer Spray is a rich, cool metallic grey that lays down a perfect foundation for tanks, vehicles, power armour, and any model where a dark steel tone sets the palette — saving you time without compromising on finish quality.

The unique colour primer formula combines a high-quality acrylic primer with a precisely matched basecoat colour, leaving a smooth, matt-ready surface that takes subsequent layers of paint cleanly and evenly. The extra-fine pigment and precision nozzle ensure full, even coverage first time, preserving every sculpted detail on plastic, resin, and metal miniatures.
