Primer VALLEJO Titans Matt Primer, model 2019124, color: German Field Grey (spray/primer)

VALLEJO Titans Matt Primer in German Field Grey (spray) is a matte spray primer formulated for scale models and hobby surfaces. It creates a uniform, adhesion-promoting base coat that helps subsequent layers of acrylic or enamel paint lay down smoothly and achieve consistent coverage. The matt finish reduces surface reflections, allowing easier observation of details and more predictable shading and weathering during model painting.

Advantages

This primer provides excellent adhesion on common modelling substrates such as plastic, resin and metal without altering fine surface detail. Its matte surface enhances paint opacity and reduces the number of colour coats required. The spray format ensures even application and fast coverage of complex shapes, while the German Field Grey tone serves as a neutral mid‑value base suitable for both light and dark colour schemes.

Suitable for

• Preparing plastic model kits and injection-moulded parts before painting
• Priming resin miniatures and conversion parts to improve paint adhesion
• Priming metal components, photo-etched parts and wargaming figures
• Providing a neutral mid-tone base for camouflage, weathering and shading techniques

Key specifications

• Finish: matt
• Colour tone: German Field Grey (neutral mid-tone)
• Suitable topcoats: acrylic and enamel paints
• Application method: aerosol spray for even coverage
• Compatible surfaces: plastic, resin, metal

How to use

Shake the aerosol well before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Clean and degrease parts and allow them to dry completely. Hold the can approximately 20–30 cm from the surface and apply thin, even passes, allowing each light coat to flash off for a few minutes before applying the next. Build up coverage with multiple thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to preserve surface detail and avoid runs. Allow the primer to cure according to ambient temperature and humidity before applying paints or additional layers.

Usage recommendations

Use in a well-ventilated area or spray booth and wear appropriate respiratory protection. Test spray on a spare piece to check colour and spray pattern. For best results, avoid painting immediately after heavy humidity or cold conditions; ensure the primer is fully dry and cured before sanding, masking or applying intricate paintwork.
