Vallejo Surface Primer 74660 Gloss Black Primer (200ml)

Vallejo Surface Primer 74660 Gloss Black (200 ml) is a primer from the Vallejo Surface Primer range in the shade of gloss black. The primer creates a thin, well-adhering layer that prepares the surface for subsequent painting and does not obscure fine model details.

The gloss black primer is an excellent base for metallic shades, chrome effects, and metal parts, as it helps enhance the depth and shine of the subsequent paint.

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