Vallejo Primers 70602 Black Color (18 ml)

Vallejo Surface Primer 70602 Black (18 ml) is a primer from the Vallejo Surface Primer series in black. The primer creates a thin, well-adhering layer that prepares the surface for subsequent painting without obscuring the model’s fine details.

Neutral primers are suitable as universal bases: white enhances light and rich shades, gray is a safe compromise, and black aids in shading, metal effects, and dark camouflage.

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. The model should be clean, dry, and free of grease. It is better to apply the primer in several thin layers rather than a single thick layer. When airbrushing, start with lower pressure and adjust the distance, pressure, and dilution as needed based on how the paint behaves. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly between layers.
