Army Painter Platemail Colour Primer Spray 400ml

The Army Painter Platemail Colour Primer Spray

Achieve a flawless metallic basecoat in a single step. The Army Painter Platemail Colour Primer Spray is a bright, cool silver that primes and basecoats your miniatures simultaneously — the essential starting point for armoured infantry, vehicles, and any model where gleaming plate steel sets the tone, saving you a full basecoating stage without sacrificing 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 washes, drybrushing, and layering with outstanding results. The extra-fine pigment and precision nozzle ensure full, even coverage first time, preserving every sculpted detail on plastic, resin, and metal miniatures.
