Review: Great primer - Great primer, layed down smooth on several figures and didn't hide details. Will use again.
Review: Works Great. Just as well as the airbrush version. - *Review Photos are of models sprayed with black primer first then the white primer from above* As a miniature and display painter, I've always preferred Vallejo's black primer for my models. It settles well and nice and even as it dries and doesn't cover up the fine details that I try to get my printer to print out. So when I saw the rattle can version, I thought that it would be a great alternative to having to clean out my airbrush constantly and that it would help get good coverage with my larger prints. I was right. It worked fantastically for covering my larger prints faster while still being able to help on smaller busts that I've been neglecting. I love this product so far. I've already run out and need to order another can. Also, I ended up ordering a can of the white primer too. Like a lot of painters, I like to do a zenithal highlight (highlight from above to simulate light), but the airbrush version always dries closer to a grey than a white. That is unless I let it dry and go back in for a few more passes. That said, the white really shines in this area. I got some nice and bright white highlights with it and have been incredibly pleased with both cans. I recommend it a lot, but make sure to shake it very well even between sprays. And as always, spray in a well ventilated area or outside.

## Features

- The Hobby Paint Spray range is a perfect combination of base coat and highly pigmented color, developed for use on all metal, plastic and resin models and miniatures. The original and unique spray formula dries fast and offers a perfect matt and self-levelling finish, designed to respect and bring forth even the finest details of the models and miniatures
- The spray is equipped with 2 different nozzles: one with a low discharge flow, especially recommended for painting precise and small details and, the medium discharge flow, recommended for painting medium and larger surfaces
- Each spray shows the original color applied on the colored ring around the top. The colors are a perfect match to the equivalent shades available in our Game and Model Color ranges, so both painting techniques can be combined
- Note: The brand Vallejo is currently in the process of rebranding, therefore, for a period of time, it is possible that you may receive the product with either the new packaging or the old packaging

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by J***H on October 11, 2025*

Awesome primer, workers every bit as well as advertised. Dries fast and does a great job of filling in layer lines on printed minis. Only complaint is whatever propellant they're using in this is very, very strong. Even priming outdoors I ended up putting a mask on because the smell was so strong. I'd be hesitant to use this indoors at all.
