What is the difference between plastic cement and Vallejo primer for models?

Plastic cement chemically welds plastic parts for a strong, seamless bond, ideal for joining pieces. Vallejo Grey Acrylic Surface Primer, however, is designed to prepare the surface for painting. It creates a uniform base coat, enhances paint adhesion, and provides a neutral color for subsequent layers, ensuring your final paint job looks professional and lasts longer.

Is Vallejo Grey Acrylic Surface Primer safe for all model materials?

This primer is recommended for resin, PVC, brass, white metal, and wood. While it's formulated for excellent adhesion, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if using on unfamiliar materials. Ensure the surface is clean and degreased before application for best results.

How long does Vallejo Grey Acrylic Surface Primer take to dry?

The primer dries quickly, forming a homogeneous film of extraordinary hardness and resistance within a few hours after application. This fast drying time allows for efficient workflow, enabling you to proceed with subsequent painting processes without significant delays.

Can I use Vallejo Grey Acrylic Surface Primer with an airbrush?

Yes, Vallejo Primers are specifically formulated for airbrushing. Recommended compressor settings are around 15-20 PSI. The primer can be used directly from the bottle or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for optimal spray consistency and a smooth, even finish on your models.

What are the benefits of using a grey primer for models?

A grey primer provides a neutral base that works well with a wide range of colors, from dark to light. It helps reveal surface imperfections before painting and ensures that subsequent paint layers appear true to their intended shade. This makes it a versatile choice for most model painting projects.

Key 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 grey 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.
