Excellent spray paint. Quality service.
Edit: Replacement can arrived so quickly and it works perfectly. Thank you Army Painter (and thank you Amazon - for the incredibly quick delivery).Actual Product Review:The finish from this paint is beautifully smooth and clean and I have found it to be durable. Application is easy and you get excellent coverage.I have used Army Painter spray paint on a whole swarm of models now and none of them have had any problems with chipping or peeling from handling, tabletop use or transport.Aside from the defective can, which appears to have been just 'one of those things' as opposed to any indication of brand quality, I been very pleased with Army Painter spray paint and recommend it.Note:Do watch or read the tutorials as it is slightly different to your typical spray paint - particularly if you regularly use other brands of spray paint (you have to be closer to the model than you would usually be) and do perform the cleaning at the end of spraying to maintain longevity of your can.Original review:The can I received just a few hours ago was defective. No pressure. Paint just dribbling out. Totally unusable.The first tin of Army Painter Spray I bought was great. Still going strong and I was really happy with it. This is the second I have bought, and it doesn't work at all.I will be happy to improve this review if the returns policy works effectively and the next can works as intended. 'Army Painter' was recommended to me as a reliable brand so I am hoping this was just a bad tin and I got unlucky.Third times the charm!

Blocking nozzle issue
Maybe a bad batch, but from online media it seems I am not alone. Shook can as instructed, ambient indoor temp perfect conditions. Nozzle blocked after 5 seconds spraying. Fitted another nozzle off an old can and sprayed about another 5 seconds. Can still full but cannot use. Waste of money.

Decent cheaper alternative
Purchased as a alternative to using citadel spray paints. I've found this to be a reasonable, cheaper alternative. It's not as effective as the citadel cans but at two thirds the price, I didn't expect it to be. It offers a decent level of coverage and the finish is more than acceptable. I would definitely recommend it as a cheaper, reasonable alternative.

Prime Primer
Gives a nice even prime and a solid colour that is a bolder peach than the photo suggested 👍🏻.I would of been helpful to know that this needs an EXCESSIVE amount of shaking before and DURING usage. My brother advised me to shake it even during spraying, however this was after I had used it so now I have to remove and retry which has not been as simple as spraying it on 😬 (although i do appreciate the fact that it is hard to come off👍🏻).-Not shaking properly creates a weird bubble texture and my doll's heads/hands (made of silicone plastic i think?) went all sticky a day after I checked that they were dry.lOverall, the negative was more down to my inexperience, so I'm just commenting this as it might be helpful to someone.

The exception.
Army Painter has a bad track record with reliability. They've had to reformulate both of their flagship lines in the last couple years. I've also heard bad reviews on their white spray primer, but this Alien Purple works great. Great coverage, and no issues taking regular acrylic, or speed paints after allowing enough time to dry and cure completely. I usually wait overnight. It also color matches with the Army Painter Alien Purple, but I can't recommend that line.
