We are The Colour Forge. A British company created in 2020 with one simple objective: To supply high-quality hobby products that don’t break the bank. 

Frustrated by the lack of choice and availability of quality hobby supplies, we changed the way products are brought to hobbyists. As a team of enthusiastic nerds, we are driven to source, manufacture, and supply high-quality products that we use in our own personal projects. If it doesn’t live on our hobby bench, it doesn’t make it into our range. It’s as simple as that! 

Our Hugely Popular Spray Primers

As hobbyists, we put a ton of time and effort into our hobby projects, spending hour upon hour to make them stand out on the tabletop. 

A good quality spray primer is such an important foundation for painting miniatures. But for years, the choice was between affordability and quality, with a lack of availability thrown in for good measure. 

At The Colour Forge, we made it our goal to end this frustration with the launch of our Core Range of spray primers.

Deciding which spray primer to use should be the easiest choice in your project. It should be:

• Available in a wide selection of colours, which are easy to use on your project.
• Give you solid coverage, preserving all the details of the miniature.
• Come in cans large enough to complete your project.
• And of course, be affordable.

The vast majority of our primers are colour-matched to Citadel’s acrylic pot paints (not their spray paints), enabling you to choose a primer to perfectly match your colour scheme, making painting incredibly quick and easy.

In 2024, we introduced the Signature Series, and we expanded the number of primers we offer while working in collaboration with 8 of the UK’s top content creators. Each creator came to us with a unique colour, chosen by them, with a specific purpose in mind. And every can of Signature Series that’s purchased continues to directly support those creators.

Our entire range of primers now stands at:

• 28 Matt Finish Coloured Spray Primers
• 3 Metallic Spray Primers
• 1 Matt Varnish Technical Spray

We also have an ever-expanding range of hobby products, including brushes, basing materials, magnets, adhesives, and MDF terrain. 

Our wider hobby range has the same level of obsessive, detail-oriented search for perfection that has made our spray primers so successful. 

We hope you join us on our journey as we work to become the home of hobby supplies in our community.
