FAQs

Does this primer need a topcoat?

While the primer provides a durable base, it is recommended to seal your finished model with a varnish once painting is complete for maximum protection.

Can I use this on 3D printed models?

Yes, this primer works very well on resin and PLA prints, provided the models have been properly cleaned and cured before spraying.

How long should I wait before painting after priming?

Allow the primer to cure for at least 30 to 60 minutes in a well-ventilated area before applying your first layer of paint.

Is this primer compatible with all hobby paints?

It is designed to work with all standard acrylic hobby paints, including those from brands like Citadel, Vallejo, and Army Painter.

What is the best temperature for application?

Room temperature (approx. 20°C / 68°F) is ideal. Avoid spraying in extreme heat, cold, or high humidity.

Why is the can so large?

The 500ml size is designed to provide better value and more consistent pressure throughout the life of the can, especially useful for large army painting projects.

Troubleshooting

The finish looks grainy or 'fuzzy'.

This is typically caused by spraying from too far away or in temperatures that are too cold/humid. Move closer, shake the can longer, and spray in a climate-controlled environment.

The spray nozzle is clogged.

Soak the nozzle in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or brush cleaner for 10 minutes, then clear it with a thin needle or compressed air.

The primer is running or pooling on the model.

You are spraying too close or applying too much paint at once. Use shorter, lighter bursts and maintain a consistent 12-inch distance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 500ml capacity is cost-effective for large collections
  • Excellent detail retention prevents clogging on delicate sculpts
  • Superior paint adhesion reduces the risk of chipping or wear
  • Consistent, smooth matt finish provides a professional base

Cons

  • Requires significant shaking time (5 minutes) for optimal results
  • Sensitivity to ambient temperature can affect the finish quality
  • Large can size may be unwieldy for smaller workspaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your primer and the safety of your workspace, follow these guidelines:

  1. Environment: Use only in well-ventilated areas, preferably outdoors or in a space with a dedicated spray booth and exhaust fan.
  2. Preparation: Shake the can vigorously for at least 5 minutes. This ensures the pigments and binding agents are fully integrated.
  3. Compatibility: This primer is compatible with most standard acrylic hobby paints. It works effectively on plastic, resin, and metal surfaces.
  4. Care: After finishing your session, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. This prevents the residue from hardening and clogging the spray tip for your next use.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations.
