Primer paint bottle VALLEJO Oilbrusher Red Primer 10 ml for airbrush and brush application

VALLEJO Oilbrusher Red Primer 10 ml is a concentrated red primer designed for preparatory coating of plastic, resin and metal miniatures and scale models. Supplied in a small bottle suitable for airbrush and brush application, the primer provides an even base layer that enhances paint adhesion and helps achieve uniform colour coverage with subsequent paints. The formulation is adapted to hobby use, offering controllable flow for thin sprays or brush-applied base coats.

Advantages

This red primer creates a consistent, thin film that improves adhesion of acrylics and enamels applied afterwards and reduces the need for heavy coverage. Its dual compatibility with airbrushes and brushes allows flexible application methods: fine misting for smooth surfaces or thicker brush coats for targeted areas. The compact 10 ml bottle is convenient for small projects, touch-ups and travel, while the pigment concentration provides good opacity for faster base coverage on miniatures.

Suitable for

• Preparing plastic miniatures and model kits before painting
• Priming resin and metal figures to improve paint adhesion
• Creating a red underlayer to influence final colour tones
• Small repair work, spot priming and touch-ups on models

Key specifications

How to use

Before application, ensure the model surface is clean, dry and free of dust, grease or mold release agents. Shake the bottle well to homogenize the pigment. For airbrush use, thin the primer if necessary following the manufacturer's thinning guidance for your airbrush system and apply several light passes at a moderate distance to avoid pooling. For brush application, use even strokes and apply thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding more. Allow sufficient drying time before applying subsequent paints.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and use appropriate respiratory protection when airbrushing. Test adhesion and thinning ratios on a spare piece or model part before full application. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and away from direct sunlight to preserve product consistency.
