VallejoSurface Primer Color | Black Acrylic Primer 200 ml (6.76 fl.oz.) | Matte Finish and Fast Drying | Perfect for Airbrushing and Great Adhesion to Figurines and Scale Models

My husband is a total Vallejo fin boy. His hobby is 3D printing and then painting various models. He loves Vallejo paints and primers and that is all he uses. The primer works straight out of the bottle in his airbrush with no thinning needed and provides great coverage.

After running into problems with other colors of primer I was a hit hesitant to try this one but decided to give it a go as I do like the Vallejo paint. Once I loaded this up into the airbrush I was pleasantly surprised to see the paint Flow easily with no problem and no clogging at all during my session. I was able to cover a particularly large piece and the coverage was great, it adheres perfectly to plastic. Best thing was I didn't need to add anything to it so it was a really easy process. Additionally I was able to use a brush with the primer (wanted to test it out) and still worked out fine. Would definitely recommend!

I'd been using a white spray on primer but heard this was good and decided to try it out. You have to paint it on thick, but once fully on the miniature, it only takes 20-30 minutes to dry before you can start painting. The effect makes adding shadows much easier, and it felt like the quality of my minis went up immediately. I still use the white primer for really light minis, but for most others I use this.

It sticks to my minis perfectly and the coat allows for the finer details to still remain. Overall a great primer.

I received an airbrush kit for Xmas. Vallejo primers work great with it. After tweaking the psi, and trial and error, I was able to prime a dozen miniatures with ease in 30 minutes.Although the bottle states it’s airbrush ready, I did find that cutting the primer 50/50 with Vallejo airbrush thinner works much better than straight primer alone. No tip dry with the 50/50 mix, whereas I had to clean the needle repeatedly with the straight primer. It’s a good idea to grab thinner if you’re going to use this with an airbrush.Even though it’s designed for airbrushes, the primer can also be brushed on if you don’t have one. Either way it beats using rattle cans to prime and varnish. I will be buying the white and grey primers, and a matte varnish from Vallejo as well.

No need to dilute it, ready to go just give it a shake, poured it into your airbrush or can be brushed on. Does have a smell not strong but is noticeable, always wear a face mask when airbrushing and gloves. Haven't had any issues, no cracking or peeling, just make sure to prep what your going to prime. The black color goes on shine but drys matte. Goes on smooth, when brushing might have to do two to three layers.

It's just primer. It does the job fine. Good coverage, quick drying, and a good surface to paint over. Can't go wrong for priming minis.

Good quality
