Fine Surface Primer L - Light Gray 180ml Spray Can

Product Information

Tamiya primers are non-acrylic primer bases. When used with acrylic paints, the primer and paint end up melting together. Tamiya paints like to be warm before you get a good spray. I use hot (tap) water. I have put cans into water straight from a boiled kettle before and I haven't had one explode yet, but tap-hot is probably fine. (Plus if you get the can too hot you can't hold it to spray). I rest a tub of water on top of my halogen lamp and put the can into it, if the lamps are on for a while they'll get hot enough to keep my coffee on the boil all morning. Halfords paints don't seem to like being warmed first.

Primered x4 coats, although one of those was really only to recoat the areas where the sand paper had removed the primer Plus, it gives you a very thin coat without any texture or scratch-filling power so that you get perfectly leveled detail and don’t fill shallow panel lines. Just make sure you use them outdoors or in a well-ventilated environment to prevent inhaling the fumes. Also, be sure to wear a facemask when priming, even outdoors. How many coats do you need to paint with Tamiya primer Then I just threw all the small parts right into the 23ml jar, closed the lid firmly and shook the jar for about half a minute. Right before my eyes, I could see how the Methoxypropanol dissolved the primer with ease. I opened the jar, poured the content into box with the large main hull parts, took out the small parts and dryed them with a paper towel. I closed the box again with the large parts only and leftover liquid inside. I applied the first layer without mixing the primer with water and the layers after that mixing it to a "milk consistency".

Wash your model, use your bath with Poundland dishwashing liquid and hot water from your tap (not boiling!).

Usually, two or three thin coats of Tamiya Surface Primer are all it takes to prepare your models for painting. There is a slight texture to the paint, you can see it where the light is hitting the shell in the pic below.Step 0: Wear gloves and eye protection. Open the window for good ventilation EDIT: GO OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE. SERIOUSLY. That stuff isn't reeking as nasty as Tamiya X20A paint thinner, but well... I use Vallejo's Model Color water-based acrylics on figures. But I also use Andrea water-based acrylics, and craft-store brands like Apple Barrel, Americana, and Folk Art.
