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

Started painting minis recently, so I'm still trying out a lot of different things at the moment, but so far I'm happy with the Vallejo primers that I've bought, but for this one specifically, I'd say that appreciate how much I got for the price. It spreads well, spreads smoothly, and leaves a nice, even finish to begin working on the actual painting once it dries out. While I haven't tested out many primers, I've been quite happy with the two from Vallejo that I've bought so far, both colors have given me a nice base coat to start from to get started on the actual painting. For those that worry about ventilation, it's not a strong smelling primer, so while a bit of ventilation is always nice, this isn't going to fill the room with unpleasant fumes or anything.

The primer is great, it does exactly what a primer is supposed to do. I use it for models and was super happy with the result. It comes out very smooth, and you can layer on a few layers to sand it down a little to get it even smoother. The paint you put over this will stick really well which is great, and I haven't any primer or paint not cure properly.

Excellent option when it is to cold to prime with a rattle can.

Don't be a idiot like me. This NEEDS a airbrush tool. You can paint it by brush, but it will take absolutely forever and you will question your sanity. Once you actually get the proper tools to use this product. It's pretty fantastic. It's a better price than getting Citadel spray cans and dries/lies on the product about the same. 10/10

This to date is the only Vallejo paint/primer I've given less than 5 stars for. The reason is unlike the rest of their products this does require A LOT more shaking to mix properly. You really need to dedicate to getting it shaken and mixed. Keep in mind that primers are a little bit different than paints. They're designed to adhere to a surface and be ever so slightly rough for paints to set onto properly. This means some primers after sitting will settle and have very tiny clumps. The extra shaking (use mixing beads) is needed to bring it back to its smooth flowing form. Once properly mixed it flows beautifully. I got smooth even coats. The white primer really made my fluorescent paints super vibrant and stand out. I did NOT take away any stars for the bottle cracking and leaking during the shaking. That was likely a "one off" event related to the bottle itself and not Vallejo paints. After the leak and some splashing during shaking I just place ALL of my paints in a plastic bag when shaking to avoid a potential mess of the room.

Happy to say that this worked very well prior to acrylic painting hobby. :) It looks thin, but it's not. The bottle is not that large... glad I did the right thing first and used a primer.

This product has surprisingly made things a lot simpler. It is perfect for an Air Brush. It Does take a while to cure but that's no big deal. I would recommend this product.

I hand brush this primer on 3D printed D&D figures, but. I think it first to avoid obliterating fine details on the figures.
