Vallejo Surface Primer Black 18ml 70.602

A flat black primer for painters working dark to light, and for colour schemes where the deepest recesses will remain in shadow. Black primer creates a naturally high-contrast starting point; colours applied over it read darker and richer, and recesses that are left uncoated read as deep, natural shadow without any shading required. Particularly suited to dark armies, vehicles, and metallic schemes, and to the zenithal priming technique where black is applied first and white or grey sprayed from above to create pre-shading.

About Vallejo Surface Primer: Vallejo Surface Primer is a water-based polyurethane formula that can be applied directly by brush or airbrush and works on all standard model surfaces including plastic, resin, PVC, white metal, brass, and wood. The primer is self-levelling, dries to a matte finish, and forms a film of extraordinary hardness and resistance once fully cured without obscuring fine surface detail. It can be diluted with water or Vallejo Airbrush Thinner for airbrush use, and applied undiluted by brush. The colours in the range are matched to common basecoat tones, allowing the primer to serve as both a ground coat and a first layer of colour in a single application.
