Its primary purpose is to prepare plastic and metal surfaces for painting by providing a smooth, even base coat that enhances paint adhesion and fills minor imperfections.
This primer is specifically formulated for ABS and Styrene plastics, and metal. It is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first if you intend to use it on other materials.
Drying time can vary based on application thickness and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity). Generally, it is dry to the touch within minutes, but allow at least 30-60 minutes before wet sanding or applying top coats for best results.
Yes, the Tamiya Fine Surface Primer can be wet sanded before applying subsequent paint layers to achieve an exceptionally smooth finish.
The grey primer is ideal as a base coat for darker paint colors, providing good coverage and depth. Tamiya's white primer is recommended for light color applications.
Each can contains 180ml of primer.
Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Ensure it is kept upright.
Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly before use. Clean the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying until clear propellant emerges. If clogging persists, try a different nozzle if available or replace the can.
Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Re-shake the can and ensure a proper distance (20-30 cm) is maintained during application. The surface may not be compatible if it's a type of plastic not listed.
This can occur if applied too thickly or in very humid conditions. Allow significantly longer drying time. If it persists, gently remove the tacky layer with a cloth lightly dampened with a compatible solvent (test first) and reapply a thin coat.
Setup: Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball starts to rattle. Hold the can upright and approximately 20-30 cm away from the surface. Apply in light, even strokes, moving the can back and forth. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat for best results.
Compatibility: This primer is specifically designed for plastic models made of ABS and Styrene. It is also suitable for metal parts. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with a specific material.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the nozzle is clean after each use by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds until only clear propellant emerges. Dispose of the can responsibly according to local regulations.
