Vallejo Surface Primer 70626 Leather Brown (17ml)

Vallejo Surface Primer 70626 Leather Brown (18 ml) is a primer from the Vallejo Surface Primer line in the shade Leather Brown. The primer creates a thin, well-adhering layer that prepares the surface for subsequent painting and does not obscure fine model details.

The Leather Brown colored primer can be used not only as a primer but also as the first layer of color. 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 any thinning based on how the paint behaves. Allow the surface to dry well between layers.
