Vallejo Model Color 200 ml Polyurethane Primer - White

I bought this Vallejo Mecha Color Black Primer in December 2024 and have been using it regularly since. It’s a very good quality primer that doesn’t require thinning — works straight from the bottle through the airbrush without clogging or splattering. The white colour is vibrant, and it adheres to miniatures really well, creating a solid base for painting. It dries quickly and provides a smooth, even coat with great coverage. Overall, a reliable and efficient primer that delivers professional-looking results. Highly recommended for anyone working with miniatures or models.

I love this product. I run it through my airbrush at quite a modest psi, with a little bit of airbrush thinner. It comes on super smooth and not too thick. Has never clogged my airbrush yet, so super easy to use. I find this to be great value for money whilst performing perfect functionality and has great quality. I did spill some and it was very easy to clean off, even when slightly dried.

Using it to undercoat 3d printed resin models, this paint, along with the black version flows and covers well. Using it with an airbrush is also excellent, drying to a good matt finish, and well priced too

I highly recommend Vallejo paints as they are good quality and the size of the bottles.I think are fair price for the volume of the paint.You get it goes on good.You can use a air brush.Which is the way I will be due using it?And I think it's very good quality.Thank you very much

This product is a surface primer, very popular with modelling/miniwargaming/28mm scale models - such as used in Warhammer/Warhammer 40,000/etc.,After Games Workshop discontinued their own hand primer (Imperial Primer) without any word of warning I was briefly forced to use rattle cans (I don't yet use/own an airbrush so am not in a position to use that method). Although GW's Chaos Black spray does have some useful applications when priming (such as when you need to prime large objects such as buildings, gaming tiles, large models with a lot of flat surface area, etc.,) I found it to be largely inadequate for priming minis, as coverage can often be inconsistent (complex minis will often be left with un-primed patches as the spray can't often get to recesses if they are obscured by other parts). This inevitably led me to try other available hand primers and Vallejo products are very popular, so I thought I would give it a try. Boy, what a difference.. So these are my thoughts:This primer may be used in two ways essentially:1. In an airbrush - add a little Vallejo Flow Improver followed by several drops of primer and you're good to go.2. By hand, using a small model brush; this is how I use it. It doesn't require any thinning/watering down and is good to use straight out of the bottle (and the bottle is topped by a nozzle which makes dispensing a few drops clean & easy).There are two main points to mention that make this such an excellent primer:1. Self-levelling - Although I'm as careful as I can be, you don't have to be really neat; the primer will level itself out, producing a really smooth & consistent finish, even if you're a little messy when applying.2. Shrinkage - The primer shrinks as it cures. This means that if you apply a little thicker than what you intended it doesn't matter - the primer will shrink/reduce down so you don't end up with clogged detail. When you combine this feature with the fact it's self-levelling, you end up with a really smooth, durable & consistent finish with model details still crisp & clear without being clogged.How I use for best results:2 thin coats, 12 hours apart! Vallejo's recommendation is to 'leave to cure for 12 hours'. So, I apply one *very* thin coat and leave to cure for 12 hours. Then, I apply a 2nd very thin coat, and leave for another 12 hours. The result is an extremely durable primed surface, ready to take your base colours. All the details are sharp still.Note: as this product is airbrush-ready, it's more watery than base colours, hence why my personal preference is to use 2 thin coats.

Top notch primer. Covers well.

Great product. One coat is enough and goes on really well. Great adhesion and no pooling either.

Top tips shake well.. if you're spraying this stuff have some water at the ready and dip into it with a tooth brush, it helps with dry tip don't let the hopper get too low.Leave for 12/24 between coats it needs to harden. You can spray over it or brush paint once set hard. Provides a good base and removes any 3d printed lines pics are before and after spraying.
