Primer paint Vallejo 70.609 base primer 0.017 L for metal, plastic, PVC

Vallejo 70.609 base primer is a ready-mixed surface primer supplied in a 0.017 L container for use on metal, plastic, PVC and uPVC surfaces. Formulated to create a uniform preparatory coat, it preserves fine detail on models and miniatures while improving paint adhesion. The product is suitable for modeling, hobby projects and small repair tasks where a consistent, strong undercoat is required before applying topcoats.

Advantages

This primer dries quickly and forms a homogeneous, durable film that enhances the bond between substrate and subsequent paints. It is designed to maintain surface detail and can be applied directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for easier spray work. The formulation provides good coverage in thin layers and resists chipping and wear after curing.

Suitable for

• Preparing resin, plastic and PVC miniatures and models
• Priming metal and white-metal components before painting
• Small repair and refurbishment tasks on uPVC and other plastics
• Airbrushing or brush-priming hobby parts and figures

Key specifications

• Finish: matte preparatory primer
• Compatibility: metal, plastic, PVC, uPVC, resin and wood
• Application methods: brush or airbrush (can be diluted)
• Drying: rapid surface drying, fully cured within hours depending on layer thickness

How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease or dust before application. Shake the container well to homogenize the product. Apply the primer in thin, even coats; allow each layer to dry before applying the next to avoid obscuring fine details. For airbrush application, the primer may be diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and sprayed at recommended compressor settings of approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). For brush application, use smooth, controlled strokes to maintain surface detail.

Usage recommendations

Store the primer in a cool, dry place and reseal the container after use. For airbrush maintenance, use Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner to prevent clogging. Test dilution ratios on a spare part to achieve the desired flow and coverage before priming the final model.
