Description

A Foundation Coat That Means Business

Mephiston Red is one of the most recognized colours in the miniature painting hobby — a deep, rich crimson that serves as the foundation for Blood Angels Space Marines, Red Scorpions, countless Khorne-aligned Chaos forces, and any army that wears its aggression on its armour. This 400ml aerosol spray delivers that colour directly to bare plastic, resin, or metal in a single even coat, skipping the brush-on primer step entirely and getting your models ready for detail work faster than any other method.

How It Works

Citadel's coloured spray primers do double duty: they prime the model's surface so paint adheres properly, and they lay down a base coat colour in one pass. Mephiston Red matches the Citadel Base paint of the same name, so the spray coat and any touch-up work from the pot are a seamless match. Apply at arm's length in light, even sweeping passes — several thin coats in good ventilation will always outperform one heavy blast. The finish is matte and ready for layer paints, shade washes, or Contrast paints applied on top.

Who It's For

Any hobbyist painting a red army will save significant time using this spray over hand-brushing a base coat across an entire force. It is especially valuable when batch-painting squads — spray a tray of ten models at once and they are all primed and base-coated in minutes. Beginners benefit from the even coverage an aerosol provides before brush control is fully developed. Experienced painters use it to accelerate their workflow and reserve hand-painting for areas that need precision. Works on Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar models, Warmachine miniatures, and any other plastic, metal, or resin figures in the hobby.

Note: Aerosol sprays are sensitive to humidity and temperature. Spray in dry conditions between 15°C and 25°C for best results. Applying in cold or humid conditions can cause a chalky or frosted finish.
