It comes in a 60 ml (2.02 fl oz) bottle with a matte finish. The primer bonds well to surfaces like fiberglass, polyethylene, polycarbonate, metal, and lexan, and it stays color-stable when exposed to RC fuel with up to 35% nitro content after proper curing. Suitable as a base coat to prepare surfaces for painting, it is non-toxic and easy to thin, mix, and clean up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Use a Primer for RC and Model Painting?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA primer acts as the foundation for your paint job. It ensures better adhesion of the topcoat and provides a uniform surface, especially important on slick materials like lexan or polycarbonate used in RC car bodies. This Vallejo primer is formulated to be flexible and durable, resisting impacts, chipping, and cracking. It also helps protect against weather and fuel exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSurface Preparation and Adhesion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, start with a clean, degreased surface. Wash the model to remove any release agents that might interfere with adhesion. Vallejo recommends applying this primer directly onto clean plastic, metal, or wood. On some surfaces, a basecoat of Polyurethane Primer (62.601) may improve adhesion, though this product already bonds strongly to a wide range of materials without extra steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility and Fuel Resistance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVallejo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite Primer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) \/ 60 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylic (Polyurethane hybrid)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Recommendation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal, Plastic, Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter proper curing, this primer resists fuel mixtures containing up to 35% nitro, making it a reliable choice for nitro-powered RC vehicles.

For airbrushing with a 0.3 mm nozzle, use the paint directly from the bottle. For smaller nozzles (0.2 mm or less), thin with Vallejo Reducer (62.068). Recommended compressor pressure is 30-60 psi (2–4 bar). You can also apply it with a brush. For maximum protection, topcoat with a catalyzed urethane clear varnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this primer on lexan or polycarbonate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
