Vallejo - Surface Primer Color | Grey Acrylic Primer 18 ml (0.6 fl.oz.) | Matte Finish and Fast Drying | Perfect for Airbrushing and Great Adhesion to Figurines and Scale Models

I got one of those cheap chinese no name air brushes just for priming and loaded it up with this stuff. Doesn't matter how bad the air brush, this just coats and sticks like freaking magic. They grey is actually pretty whitish, and I like how smooth it sticks to the plastic, leaving details intact. I specifically sprayed it on some of the cheapest board game quality models I had, some cheesy ones for the intro to D&D box set from 1990s, and they suddenly looked and felt like proper wargaming minis. Playing with acrylics and stains, the primer just soaks things up and sticks. Now I'm eager to go get a better air brush and see how it looks, probably even better details. I have a 30 year old orc battalion box set to paint up, and this right here will be the primer than brings the night goblins to the table.

Si dudas algunas es excelente este producto me encanta la textura que le deja a mis piezas y funciona a la perfección con cualquier aerógrafo sin necesidad de tinner

great quality easy to apply

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.

Primer works perfect, applies even and does the job

My husband is a total Vallejo fan boy. His hobby is 3D printing and then painting various models. He loves Vallejo paints and primers. The primer works straight out of the bottle in his airbrush. Vallejo is all he uses and has for years.

Works well with a large tip nozzle straight out of bottle. PSI set at 40 and do light strokes. Used colored acrylics following and model looks great.

Great product
