Army Painter: Spray Desert Yellow 400ml

The Army Painter Desert Yellow Colour Primer Spray

The essential primer for arid, sun-baked colour schemes. The Army Painter Desert Yellow Colour Primer Spray was originally designed for WWII desert vehicles and uniforms, and remains the definitive sandy yellow primer for historical wargaming — equally at home on T'au battlesuits, Tomb Kings, and any force where a warm, dusty yellow-tan sets the palette, all in a single step.

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.
