Vallejo Surface Primer 70624 Pure Red (17ml)

Vallejo Surface Primer 70624 Pure Red (18 ml) is a primer from the Vallejo Surface Primer range in the shade pure red. The primer creates a thin, well-adhering layer that prepares the surface for subsequent painting while not obscuring fine model details.

The pure red colored primer can be used not only as a primer but also as the first color layer. It saves time on camouflage, vehicles, figures, gaming miniatures, and larger areas where you want to quickly unify the base.

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 layer. When using an airbrush, start with lower pressure and adjust the distance, pressure, and thinning as needed based on the paint's behavior. Allow the surface to dry well between layers.
