Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this primer is highly regarded for its fine pigment and excellent adhesion, ensuring it covers well without obscuring fine details on various materials like plastic, resin, and metal. It is praised for revealing surface imperfections, providing a smooth finish, and being compatible with a range of paints, though users note the need for proper ventilation due to strong odors and toxic fumes. Many consider it a top choice for modeling, despite its higher cost and the need for careful application to avoid runs.

Great primer with excellent adhesion properties

By: ajwargo

The Tamiya fine surface primer is perhaps the best plastic model primer available. It has great adhesion properties and very fine pigments. This makes it excellent for getting into tight spaces without paint build-up. I usually put an initial coat on, using the primer to help identify seams or irregularities that need to be puttied and sanded, then repeating the process until surfaces are smooth and continuous under a final coat of primer.

Best primer I've found for the purpose.

By: jen (Atlanta, GA)

I use this primer on small scale resin, metal, and plastic models. Used as directed, it won't obscure fine details like many primers. It tolerates being sprayed in a wider temperature and humidity range than other products I've tried, and the nozzle is not prone to clogging. The light gray color makes it very easy to see any flaws or rough spots on the model before painting. It can be painted when dry to the touch, but if left at least 12 hours will cure to a very tough, durable surface.

Excellent primer

By: jeremy.s.michels1

Overall, this is the best primer that I have used. I have both the white and light gray. They both are just as good, I have more of a personal preference to the gray though. It helps show any imperfections in the model, and gives a nice even coat as long as you don't hold the can in one spot for too long. I have only had a problem once with paint not sticking to the primer. I would highly recommend this primer.
