Key Features and Applications
This primer is a high-quality acrylic product in Panzer Grey (RAL 7021), which matches the historical shade of grey used on German military vehicles from World War II. This makes it ideal for historical models, allowing for an accurate color representation right from the priming stage.
A single bottle contains 200 ml of primer, ensuring efficiency and ease of use for multiple projects. The product is designed for application with both a brush and an airbrush, allowing flexibility depending on the modeler's preference and the size of the surface being painted.
Main Benefits of Using Primer:
Reveals imperfections: A uniformly colored primer helps identify overlooked flaws, such as scratches, glue runs, or unevenness created during the processing and sanding of model parts.
Smooths the surface: Effectively conceals micro-imperfections and minor flaws, creating a smooth and uniform base for topcoats.
Increases paint adhesion: Ensures excellent adhesion of basecoats and topcoats to the plastic surface of the model, minimizing the risk of chipping and color wear.
Unifies the surface color: Thanks to the uniform grey color of the primer, the true hue of the topcoats is reproduced without influence from the base plastic color.
Model Preparation and Compatibility
Before applying Vallejo Surface Primer, proper preparation of the model's surface is crucial. It is recommended to thoroughly degrease the plastic parts. This can be done by washing the entire model in a solution of water and dish soap or by cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol. Proper degreasing ensures optimal primer adhesion.
Vallejo acrylic primer is compatible with most acrylic, enamel, and lacquer model paints available on the market. Its formula has been developed to work with various painting systems, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.
