Review: My favorite - This is my go to primer. I use it for just about all my mini painting and fishing lure painting. It sprays really well through an airbrush if you thin it a bit. I do about 1:2 with Vallejo thinner. 1 part thinner to 2 parts primer. It sticks really well to most surfaces, though we are mostly using factory plastic minies or resin 3D prints. Fishing lures are factory plastic blanks, PLA 3D prints, or wood like balsa. The coverage is smooth and consistent. For colors I generally just use all brands of acrylics from cheap craft store stuff to expensive stuff and they all work really well with this primer.
Review: It’s the "gold standard" because the acrylic-polyurethane formula acts more like a high-tech "skin" - Nice find! This Vallejo Surface Primer is a heavy-hitter in the model and figurine world. It’s the "gold standard" because the acrylic-polyurethane formula acts more like a high-tech "skin" than a heavy paint, specifically designed to shrink-wrap around 16K resin prints without burying microscopic details. This has been perfect for prepping my vases and figurines, provided you are using the correct delivery system. ​In my experience, the biggest mistake people make is trying to push this through a fine-detail needle. Because of the thicker polyurethane texture, I've learned you have to use a 0.5mm nozzle to get the flow right. I’ve been pairing it with a high-precision, large-bore nozzle—like the Blackhawk style—which specializes in moving these heavier "industrial" primers. Using this setup in my Vevor airbrush is the key to unlocking what this product can actually do. It allows the formula to atomize properly, laying down flat and smooth without the stuttering or "pebbly" dry-tip that ruins lesser primers. ​The high surface tension resists dripping and pulls the coat tight as it cures, drying down to a beautiful satin-matte finish that actually makes the fine details pop more than they did on raw resin. You only need two or three light, misty passes to get full opaque coverage. Because it goes on microns-thin, you don't have to worry about it "mudding up" deep carvings. Most importantly, it creates a slightly rubbery "tooth" on the surface that ensures your final art colors actually bond to the resin, giving you a professional, durable base that feels as high-end as the piece you're creating.

## Features

- The primer is the first layer of colour that is applied on the model in order to prepare the surface for the subsequent painting processes. In order to guarantee an excellent adherence it is necessary to apply it on a previously ‘degreased’ surface, therefore it is advisable to wash the model or the figure before priming it in order to remove the remains of release agents.
- Vallejo Primers is a range of acrylic primers specially formulated for airbrushing. Recommended compressor settings for our colours are around 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg.
- The primers are applied in successive coats and dry quickly, forming a homogeneous film of extraordinary hardness and resistance within a few hours after application. They can be used directly or diluted with our Airbrush Thinner (B002X6DTHK) or Flow Improver (B00QD780G0).
- The matt black primer is available in 18 ml (0.6 fl. oz.) bottles with dropper, and 60 ml (2.02 fl. oz.) and 200 ml (6.76 fl. oz.) bottles with hinged cap and dropper.
- Note: The brand Vallejo is currently in the process of rebranding, therefore, for a period of time, it is possible that you may receive the product with either the new packaging or the old packaging.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does this primer take to dry? Thanks.**
A: This primer dries in about the same time as an average layer of acrylic paint. After brushing it on a miniature, most areas are dry to the touch within 5-10 minutes. I usually prime models one day, and start painting them the next day after allowing roughly 24 hours for the primer to fully cure.

**Q: Does this need to be watered down to be used with an airbrush? It doesn't say it's air primer.**
A: It really depends on your airbrush, my Badger hates this primer without around a 50/50 mix with distilled water (random splatters and tip gets clogged within a minute when used straight).

**Q: How much do you need to thin the primer if you are just brushing it on (not using an aor brush).**
A: This primer will flake off (tiny flakes) when brushed on metal reaper figures or plastic models. It looks great because details show through, but will require touch up before painting. Let it dry at least a few days.

**Q: Can i add this to a whit primer to get a grey primer?**
A: I added it to Vallejo White to get a good grey and it worked fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best primer for miniature painting.
*by L***H on December 8, 2021*

This product is actually insane. I am not normally someone to write glowing reviews, but this has been the best purchase I have made as a painter. I've tried rattlecans from basic primer, to game worshop, to army painter and never had as clean of an experience as with this. Put a couple drop in an airbrush and you will come out with a beautiful and even matte black as a canvas to work with. What makes this product crazier is even though it is made for the airbrush work perfectly well when applied with a brush, it is almost like magic how well it comes out and it actually saves you on paint! I have a large brush I generally use for priming when I am working and can't use an airbrush. With Vallejo Surface Primer you can put one drop of black on a wet pallet and is that will be enough to get through an entire miniature, what is really crazy about it is how thin it comes out, it never mucks up details or crevices even when I feel like I got too much on a brush. It feels like it is somehow noob-proof primer. I cannot recommend it enough. If every paint I purchased came out as cleanly and smoothly as this primer I would never have trouble painting again. Try it, you will not regret it.
