Vallejo - Surface Primer Color | Grey Acrylic Primer 60 ml (2.02 fl.oz.) | Matte Finish and Fast Drying | Perfect for Airbrushing and Great Adhesion to Figurines and Scale Models

I’ve been airbrushing for 50 years and I’ve always used rattle can primer for my models. I wanted to start airbrushing my models and this primer works great! Great flow through my iwata HP-BC airbrush. This paint covers well with great adhesion. The color is a little light for me , I use white resin for my models and it was hard to tell if I covered the whole model. So I mixed in some black airbrush paint and then I could differentiate between my white model and the primer. The hand in my photo was painted before I added the black. The base and the eyeball were painted after I added a small amount of black to the primer. I’m very pleased with this primer and I will use it on all of my models from now on.

I'm new to painting miniatures, but this primer seems to do the job for me.

Love this primer I have used it for year and the bottles last a while. Bought three bottles and have been using them for 4 years now to be fair I only pant a modal or 2 every month but it's just good stuff

Vallejo airbrush primers are just generally 'pretty good.' I typically use the black an don't have any real issues with it. If priming several models at once or larger pieces - essentially any longer airbrushing sessions - you will run into tip dry and the paint in your cup with start to thicken. Keeping an eye on your needle and the paint still in your airbrush cup will go a long way to alleviating your priming frustrations. The grey looks good and goes on smoothly, just like the black. It does have a tendency to thicken up and 'gum up' the airbrush a bit more than the black. Basically, where with the black you can add a drop or two of thinner and just go... you'll really want to watch the grey a bit more and play with the thinning to make sure you're still getting coverage along with a smooth spray. Anyway, if you airbrush regularly you'll figure it out. Where this shines is the VALUE. You'll be able to prime HUNDREDS of minis with one bottle. That is no exaggeration. $12-$16 dollars usually is what this goes for. Compare that with a single rattle can from Citadel or Army Painter. It's absolutely no contest is you're trying to save some money. I have not had any issues after years with Vallejo airbrush primers with adhesion. BUT - I will say - and I think this is a bonus - it strips very well. Soaking in Simple Green will strip paint and primer with a couple days and an old tooth brush. I personally like that. And since I don't have adhesion issues - this is a no brainer. It allows me to relax and if I make mistakes I don't sweat it. Another bonus of airbrush primers is you won't run into any issues where a can isn't mixed and gives you that hydrophobic coat. You get a smooth prime every time. Again, providing you know how to airbrush. Anyway, enough rambling. This is great. Saves money.

Works as expected. Grey is a great primer.

It says you need an airbrush on the bottle, but you really don't. It looks like it goes on unevenly, but it never obscures details on my minis and paint goes on really well. It's very thin so don't worry about watering it down. I just use a regular brush and brush it on without really worrying about thickness, just making sure the entire thing gets covered. Let it dry for 12 hours or a day and it's ready for paint. I've read other reviews that say it's "sticky" but that's not my experience. It dries normally and the texture left behind is one that paint adheres to well. If you are going to paint a bunch of minis I'd really recommend this primer.

Works the best.

Use this instead of the vallejo white primer. Its bright enough that working with white isn't tough, but has more consistent coverage than their white primer

Works fine

Super krycie, przy nakładaniu pędzlem trzeba uważać na bąbelki powietrza.

Excelente calidad. Pero consideren que debe diluirse por lo menos al 50% para aerógrafo. El aerógrafo debe limpiarse de inmediato después de la aplicación. Considerar también qué deben pasar por lo menos 6 horas para que seque por completo, de lo contrario se desprende.
