Questions & Answers
There are many things wrong with this White is indeed the color of the primer.
If you mix Vallejo with other Vallejo paints and primers, then yes, you can. Mixing one part hydrogen peroxide with one part water is what I do. The company does make a gray primer, though.
As a matter of fact, I used it to prime GHQ miniature ships, and it worked perfectly.
Selected User Reviews For Vallejo White Primer Acrylic Polyurethane, 200ml
Since I have no spray paint setup and do not have an airbrush, I initially purchased a primer that was designed to be applied with a brush, since I didn't want to use spray paint. In my experience, the primer does work well, though I had to apply two coats to the first miniature I used it on (which is a black plastic) because it is very thin and also left a lot of bleed-through. The black color of the mini can be seen through. In the end, I found this primer to be thin and watery I understand that it needs to flow into the nooks and crannies of miniatures, but I found that it was a bit tricky to work with because it would run off multiple times as I applied The overall effect is good, however I think that it would be better if it were a bit less runny.
Model kits made from plastic work well with this. Clogs more easily in 0 than in 1. The sizing of this airbrush is 2mm. It is recommended that the value of 0 be used. An airbrush with a diameter of 5mm. You should not clean your airbrush after using Vallejo paint or primer with alcohol. This may cause the paint or primer to clump up, resulting in dissoluble clogs in the airbrush. Make sure that you are using a detergent-based airbrush cleaning solution, or some.
I'm normally a huge fan of Vallejo, but I'm not sure this was an issue with mold release. I'll revisit the review if the issue is real (, and if it is, I'll let you know). Although it goes on nicely, a thin coat with great tooth for paint, I found that it was easily scraped off with my fingernail on the two metal figures I primed. If you want it to cure, you should leave it for at least 12 hours I let mine cure The guy at our local hobby shop guessed that mold release might be the issue, and quite frankly, I did not wash the metal minis before painting, but may be mold release isn't just an issue with plastic minis after all? Once I wash one and strip it, I'll be able to do the rest Let me soak it and rinse it again, then I will rate it again.
In addition to Vallejo paint products, I'm a big fan of The Primer by Vallejo. This is applied with my airbrush straight from the bottle, it covers well, adheres well (to polystyrene) and it can be sanded. There is nothing more you could Most of the figures I have used this on have been made of plastic, resin, vinyl and to some degree, metal. I am satisfied with the results thus far.
It comes in three colors -- white, grey, and black -- and I have them all. While grey and black have never been a problem, this white has proven to be almost impossible to work with. I can't get it to unclog no matter how I add thinner or pressure to it. Even when the brush has been detail stripped, cleaned, and lubricated, it still can't fight off the bacteria. In addition to poor spray quality, the surface adhesion is poor as well It's not uncommon for chunks of painted plastic to separate from models all the way down There has to be a better way to dispose of this bottle.
In my opinion, I prefer paint for sparying my Warhammer models with, and I wish that the online store had all of their colors and you could choose the colors you wanted most of the time, you can only buy these Vallejo paints Vallejo paints are very good, but it is hard to find a complete selection of colors, no store offers them all.
The product description states that this product works well with brushes but that is not the case. Applied with a brush, it does not adhere well to miniatures because the paint is too thin. A thin layer of water will instead run away from the mini base and accumulate in crevices. Airbrush only. Clearly formulated for use with an airbrush.
I use the flow improver to keep the airbrush from drying up and spitting on me, same ratio as for paint 2 drops improver to 10 drops paint. This coverage/adhesion is great, and I did not experience any issues with spraying via an airbrush.
