Primer paint Vallejo Ammo Titans Primer - Gun Metal, model 2019122

Vallejo Ammo Titans Primer - Gun Metal is a surface primer formulated for modelling and scale hobby work. Supplied in the Vallejo Ammo range, this primer creates an even, metallic-looking base coat that enhances adhesion for subsequent paints on plastic, resin and metal parts. Its gun-metal tint helps reveal and define surface details while providing a suitable foundation for both acrylic and enamel finishes used in aircraft, vehicle and military miniature projects.

Advantages

This primer offers consistent coverage with a metallic hue that reduces the need for multiple undercoats when aiming for metal effects. It improves paint adhesion and levels minor surface imperfections without obscuring fine sculpted details. The formulation is compatible with common modelling materials and supports layered painting techniques, facilitating smoother transitions to weathering and highlighting steps.

Suitable for

• Plastic model kits (aircraft, tanks, vehicles)
• Resin miniatures and conversion parts
• Metal figures and small parts
• Base coats for metallic effects and weathering

Key specifications

• Colour tone: gun metal (metallic grey)
• Finish: matte-to-satin metallic base
• Compatibility: formulated for plastic, resin and metal surfaces
• Application methods: brush or airbrush (thin as required)
• Coverage: designed for even, single-layer base coverage depending on substrate and application thickness

How to use

Ensure parts are clean, free of oils and fully dry before application; wash new parts with mild detergent and rinse. Shake the bottle thoroughly to homogenize the metallic pigments. Apply the primer in thin, even coats using a brush for small areas or an airbrush for larger assemblies; allow each coat to dry before applying additional layers. When airbrushing, thin the product according to the airbrush manufacturer’s recommendations for viscosity and nozzle size. After drying, proceed with standard acrylic or enamel paints, or perform weathering and highlighting techniques directly over the primed surface.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place and keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Test compatibility with subsequent paints on a scrap piece before full application. Follow safety guidelines: use adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment when airbrushing or working with solvents.
