The reviews highlight a mix of experiences with this primer, noting its ease of application and good coverage when airbrushed or brushed on, with no need for thinning and smooth, even results. However, concerns are raised about its durability, as it scratches easily and is difficult to sand, though adding top coats can help protect it. Additionally, while it works well with certain paints, lacquers can cause issues, and achieving a solid white finish may require multiple coats or a grey undercoat.

Not very durable - Impossible to sand

By: Tommy

This primer is a acrylic primer. That's what the polyurethane means. This means that it's not very durable as it's grip on the plastic is weaker. Acrylic paint will not damage the primer and neither will enamel paints. Lacquers are a bit trickier as too much will melt the primer (and possibly the plastic underneath) and cause the paint to become splotchy. However, if you bump a key or something hard onto the bare primer, it will scratch. It is not very durable at all. This issue is reduced when paint is applied as the top coats will harden and help protect the kit. If you try to sand this primer, then you'll probably fail. Because it gets damaged so easily, the sandpaper will only do that more. The white primer like all white primers take lots of coats to become white. However, a light coat of grey primer under the white primer helps out a lot. Just go with a Tamiya spray can primer.

Vallejo white primer

By: chukpilk

Primed two models this morning and very pleased with results. Airbrushed 3 light coats which covered nicely. Let dry a few minutes between coats. Was able to airbrush color coat on Fokker Eindecker. Very even and smooth. Cleanup easy and quick. Thanks
