Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products, especially the primer and spray paints, for their excellent quality, smooth finish, and great coverage, often noting they are superior to other brands. Many appreciate the value for money, particularly the larger can sizes and competitive pricing. The ordering process is frequently described as easy and efficient, with consumers highlighting the fast dispatch and next-day delivery services. However, some customers also noted issues with delivery, specifically mentioning that DPD, one of the delivery companies used, did not always deliver on time and that packages sometimes arrived damaged. A few people were dissatisfied with a specific white primer, reporting that it resulted in an "orange peel" texture and watery coverage, ruining their models.

Great product and great service

Receive my spray cans quickly and they are awesome.

Only issue was that DPD didn't try and deliver them but dropped them off at a drop off location - which I hadn't selected but that's not Colour Forge's fault.

Imperial Fist's best friend

Bought Sunset Yellow to basecoat Imperial Fists. Amazing coverage and awesome colour. Also value for money is great as bigger than Citadel Sprays and a richer colour than Averland Sunset. Will buy again!

My new favourite primers

I thought I'd give The Colour Forge primers a go when the colour I wanted was out of stock from the manufacturer I usually choose. I wasn't expecting much as they're cheaper (per ml) but the reviews seemed good and the people behind the company seemed decent in a video I watched. However, I used them to prime my drybrush palette in graduated colours alongside my normal primer, and I've been very pleasantly surprised by how much easier they were to work with and how smooth the finish is in comparison to my old primer... which I now realise adds a rough texture to smooth surfaces, seeing how smooth the new Colour Forge primers are. These work nicely for all types of models, not just wargaming, and haven't flooded detail on my models. I'll be ordering my primers from The Colour Forge from now on, in fact I've already loaded a few into my basket.

Fantastic Matt primer's

Fantastic Matt primers I got both Black and White for my Warhammer models. The standout was the Salamander green perfect for my Salamander marines what a difference. Much superior to the GW primers better coverage cheaper and more primer in the can!

Watch out for the basket/offers

The basket / cart software acts in a somewhat bizarre way when it applies auto discounts and offers.

Eg if you order 3 cans they are £10 each.
4 or 5 cans are £12 each and 6 cans are £10 each again.

Accordingly when I was moving products in and out the cart to work out exactly what I wanted to order, the price for 5 cans and 6 cans is identical (£60) but only noticed that I was missing a can on delivery due to this.

As usual the quality of the sprays is fantastic, so cant fault them there.
