Vallejo Surface Primer 70604 Ger. Dark Yellow (17ml)

Vallejo Surface Primer 70604 German Dark Yellow (18 ml) is a primer from the Vallejo Surface Primer range in the shade of German Dark Yellow. The primer creates a thin, well-adhering layer that prepares the surface for subsequent painting and does not obscure fine model details.

The colored primer in German Dark Yellow shade can be used not only as a primer but also as the first color layer. It saves time on camouflage, technical models, 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. It is better to apply the primer in several thin layers than one thick layer. When using an airbrush, start with lower pressure and adjust the distance, pressure, and any thinning according to the paint's behavior. Allow the surface to dry well between layers.
