Description
Undercoat Light Gray is a versatile, neutral primer-tone paint designed to act as an underlayer or standalone color. Its balanced brightness enhances color fidelity in subsequent coats—especially whites, blues, greens, and warm tones—while maintaining subtle shadow depth. The smooth matte texture provides a perfect base for detail painting, washes, and drybrushing.
