Mr.Primer Surfacer SF-287 1000 Primer / 40ml is a professional model primer from the renowned company MR.HOBBY, designed to perfectly prepare the model's surface before applying base coats. It's an essential item in every modeler's arsenal, guaranteeing a smooth and durable foundation for further painting stages.
Key Applications and Benefits
Using a primer is fundamental to achieving a satisfying model finish. Mr.Primer Surfacer SF-287 1000, with its 40ml capacity, offers a range of key benefits:
Detecting Imperfections: Once applied, the primer effectively reveals any overlooked errors from preparation, sanding, as well as minor scratches or surface imperfections.
Surface Smoothing: Thanks to its formula, it masks micro-imperfections and fine pores, creating an incredibly smooth and uniform base for your color coat. The "1000" designation indicates a very fine grit, which translates to an exceptionally smooth finish.
Increasing Paint Adhesion: It provides an optimal adhesive layer to which base coats adhere much better, minimizing the risk of chipping and ensuring better coverage.
Although manufacturers often offer primers in colors similar to historically used base paints, for Mr.Primer Surfacer SF-287 1000, its ability to create a perfectly even and adhesive primer layer is key.
How to Use and Compatibility
Surface Preparation
Before applying the primer, thoroughly degreasing all model parts is crucial. This can be done by washing the entire model with dish soap or cleaning its surface using alcohol. A clean surface is essential for maximum primer adhesion and coating durability.
Application Methods
Mr.Primer Surfacer SF-287 1000 is versatile and can be applied with both a brush, for precise coverage of small details and hard-to-reach areas, and an airbrush, which allows for quick, even, and very smooth coverage of larger surfaces. This primer is specifically designed for use on plastic models.
Thinning
For optimal spraying with an airbrush and to achieve the best results, it is recommended to use the dedicated thinner Mr. Leveling Thinner. This thinner not only ensures the ideal consistency of the primer but also improves its leveling properties and drying time, contributing to an even smoother surface.
