Tamiya SURFACE PRIMER Gray Spray Primer - 180ml is a professional model primer designed for effectively preparing the surfaces of plastic models before applying base coats of paint. It's an indispensable product for every modeler aiming to achieve a perfectly smooth and durable finish.
Key Features and Application
Tamiya Primer, in a convenient spray form and supplied in a 180ml can, eliminates the need for a brush or airbrush, significantly speeding up and simplifying the priming process. Its gray color is a universal choice, suitable for a wide range of modeling projects and working perfectly as a base for both light and dark paints.
Benefits of Using Primer:
Increased Paint Adhesion: The primer creates an optimal surface that significantly improves the adhesion of hobby paints, minimizing the risk of flaking, runs, or uneven coverage.
Detecting and Masking Imperfections: Applying primer reveals any surface imperfections such as micro-pits, scratches, or areas requiring additional sanding, which might have been overlooked during initial preparation. At the same time, it masks minor flaws, creating a perfectly smooth and uniform base for further painting.
Surface Uniformity: The primer ensures a consistent base tone, which is crucial for achieving a uniform and predictable color for your base coat, regardless of the original plastic color.
How to Use and Compatibility
For optimal results, it's crucial to thoroughly degrease the model surface before applying the primer. This can be done by washing the parts with dish soap or using alcohol. Before each use of the spray primer, shake the can vigorously to thoroughly mix the contents and ensure even spraying.
Tamiya SURFACE PRIMER Gray Primer is designed for use on most plastic surfaces commonly used in modeling. It provides an excellent base for various types of model paints, including acrylic, enamel, and lacquer paints, increasing their durability and finish quality.
