Tamiya FINE SURFACE PRIMER Light Grey Spray Primer - 180ml
The Tamiya FINE SURFACE PRIMER model primer spray is a high-quality product designed for professional preparation of plastic model surfaces before applying base coats. Offered in a convenient 180ml can, it allows for quick and effective coverage of even larger parts, without the need for a brush or airbrush.
Key Applications and Benefits
Applying model primer is a crucial step in the model building process, aimed at optimally preparing the surface for painting. The Tamiya FINE SURFACE PRIMER in light grey is recommended due to its multifaceted functions:
Levels the Surface: Reveals and conceals minor imperfections, such as micro-pits or marks from processing and sanding, providing a smooth base for subsequent paint layers.
Increases Paint Adhesion: Creates an ideal surface to which model paints (acrylic, enamel, lacquer) can adhere more strongly, minimizing the risk of chipping or color abrasion.
Uniform Base Color: The light grey shade of the primer provides a neutral base, which allows paints applied to the model to achieve their true, intended hue, without influence from the base color of the plastic.

Usage Tips
For optimal results and a professional model finish, it is recommended to follow the guidelines below:
Surface Preparation: Before applying the primer, the model must be thoroughly degreased. This can be done by washing it in lukewarm water with a mild dishwashing liquid or by wiping the parts with pure isopropyl alcohol. Afterward, the model should be thoroughly dried.
Shake Before Use: Before each application, shake the can vigorously for at least one minute to thoroughly mix the contents and ensure uniform coverage and optimal primer flow.
Application: Apply the primer in thin, even coats from a distance of approximately 20-30 cm from the model's surface. Avoid applying overly thick coats, which can obscure fine details or cause runs.
Environmental Conditions: Use in a well-ventilated room at room temperature. Avoid application in high humidity conditions, which can negatively affect the drying process and coating quality.
