Vallejo Primers 73603 German Panzer Grey RAL7021 Color (60 ml)

Vallejo Surface Primer 73603 German Panzer Grey (60 ml) is a primer from the Vallejo Surface Primer range in the shade of German Panzer Grey. The primer creates a thin, well-adhering layer that prepares the surface for subsequent painting while not obscuring fine model details.

Neutral primers are suitable as a universal base: white enhances light and vibrant shades, grey is a safe compromise, and black aids in shading, metallics, and dark camouflage schemes.

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. The model should be clean, dry, and degreased. Apply the primer in several thin layers rather than one thick coat. When using an airbrush, start with lower pressure and adjust the distance, pressure, and thinning as needed. Allow the surface to dry well between coats.
