Surface Primer L White

Tamiya fine surface primer provides a very smooth surface on which to apply your color coat. I use other primers like Krylon for all the bodywork but when that is done, this goes on last before the finish. Excellent! It's a bit pricey (the price at Hobbylinc is the lowest I've found) but it's definitely worth it.

This Tamiya surface primer is by far the best white primer on the market, in my opinion. It levels out and dries very quickly even though a lacquer (L) product, although I allow a full day to dry before working with it further. It shows where seams may still need sanding out, and when the seam is filled with putty (or liquid thin cyanoacrylate) re-sanded, and re-primed, the repair disappears. I also use this primer for model surfaces that are required to be white. I do not use a white paint overcoat as it holds a high polish alone. As a base coat, both enamels and acrylics overlay it smoothly. I also use the primer L gray version of the product with the same results.

I got back into modeling recently and deciding that I would do everything right (or as right as possible), I decided to use a good primer. I found my solution in the Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. Spray a light to medium coat on each peace that will be final coated. Before applying the final color, I recommend carefully wiping down all primed surfaces as they may contain a fine dusting of primer that dried before it got to the model pieces. Test the surfaces by wiping a finger lightly over them. If there is a light residue on your finger, wipe the surface with a soft or cotton cloth. Do I like this product? Hobbylinc just delivered two more cans today.
