Matt Surface Primer 60ml - White

White acrylic primer, 60 ml

A primer is the coat the whole finish stands on. It evens out a surface made of different materials, brings out flaws that would otherwise show under the paint too late, and above all gives the paint something to hold on to. This primer is a water-thinnable acrylic that the manufacturer describes as fast drying, with a very matte surface of high hardness and durability that does not fill in detail. It goes on with a brush and with an airbrush onto a clean, dry surface; the manufacturer names plastics, wood and metals. The white version is the base for light and saturated shades and for techniques that work with the brightness of the color.

Use

• Wash and degrease the part before priming; on a greasy surface the primer will not hold.
• Lay it on in thin coats; a heavy coat fills the scribing and the detail is lost.
• With an airbrush, spray it thinned and from a distance; with a brush, draw evenly in one direction.
• It thins with water, not with lacquer or cellulose thinner.
• Let it cure properly and only then paint; a soft primer lifts under masking tape.
• Close the pot carefully after work, as dried acrylic can no longer be stirred back.

Who it is for

It suits figures and kits alike and anyone who paints with a brush or an airbrush. Choose the white shade where the final color should stay bright, for light camouflage, for desert shades and for saturated color on figures.

Keep it well closed and out of the reach of children. Ventilate when spraying and use respiratory protection.
