400ml Fine Primer Black Spray

Fine Primer Black Spray 400 ml, a black primer in a spray can

A primer in an aerosol can of 400 ml. On a model a primer plays three roles at once: it evens out a surface made up of different materials, it gives the paint something to grip and it reveals the flaws you would otherwise find only under a finished coat. The black version also works with shadow straight away: under dark camouflage, under metallics and under colors that are meant to look deep, it saves one coat of work.

Use

• priming plastic parts, photo-etched parts, resin and metal accessories before painting
• a dark base under metallic shades, where the surface is meant to look smooth and deep
• preshading: you then spray a lighter color so that the dark stays in the recesses
• checking the surface, because under a uniform coat unsanded seams and scratches show up at once
• shake the can for two minutes before spraying and apply in short passes from a distance of roughly twenty to thirty centimeters

Who it is for

For modelers who do not want to, or cannot, spray primer with an airbrush. The spray also suits large areas, where mixing and spraying would hold things up. Work at room temperature, in thin coats, and let the coat mature properly before you start painting. Try a new spray on an offcut of sprue first, because reactions with paints and with some plastics differ.

A flammable aerosol under pressure. Spray in a ventilated room or outdoors, away from open flame, use protection for your airways and keep out of reach of children. The safety instructions are on the packaging.
