Previously it looked like you wouldn’t be able to get Citadel spray primer paint online, but a week later they are all back!
Yikes! Looks like GW might be having some issues with communication regarding their spray primer. All but one was sold out online with “No longer available Online”, which is usually a sign that’s it’s gone for good. However, thankfully for customers, it looks like a ton of primer is back in stock online.
Citadel Undercoat Spray Paint Primers Were SOLD OUT
Love ’em or hate ’em all the spray primers except the newest Runelord Brass were sold out online! It was probably due to them having a small stockpile of it, as it is the newest release after all.
Maybe GW’s primer is outsourced and the company that provides if for GW to package is having issues right now. It also could just be GW themselves having problems meeting the demand for spray primer, assuming people around the world are hobbying while self-isolating and quarantining during the pandemic, there could be a much bigger demand than before…
There must have been some confusion on the online storefront because instead of “Temporarily out of stock” it said “No longer available online” leading to a spike in online prices and demand. However, with the restock we know it was probably just some human error.
It is nice to be able to name match paints when working on large projects. Sometimes having to manually match colors with multiple brands is a pain in the neck.
