Paint Medium Vallejo Ammo One Shot Primer Transparent 60 ml

Vallejo Ammo One Shot Primer Transparent 60 ml is a clear priming medium formulated for scale models and miniatures. It creates an even, transparent base layer that improves paint adhesion while preserving fine surface details on plastic, resin and metal substrates. The formulation is suitable for both airbrush and brush application, allowing modelers to prepare parts before applying opaque paints, washes or weathering effects without obscuring panel lines or engraved details.

Advantages

The transparent primer provides a uniform, barely visible coating that enhances subsequent paint layers without altering the colour of the base material. It increases adhesion for acrylic and enamel paints, reduces the risk of flaking, and maintains surface texture and fine details. The medium is available in a 60 ml bottle, offering sufficient volume for multiple projects and convenient handling for hobby use.

Suitable for

• Preparing plastic model kits and injection-moulded parts
• Priming resin miniatures and aftermarket parts
• Sealing and priming metal components before painting
• Base layer for airbrushing and brush painting techniques
• Surface preparation prior to washes, filters and weathering

Key specifications

• Volume: 60 ml transparent primer
• Application: airbrush and brush compatible
• Surface compatibility: plastic, resin, metal
• Finish: clear, non-opaque base coat that preserves detail

How to use

Ensure the model surface is clean, dry and free of oils or release agents. Shake the bottle gently before use. For airbrushing, thin the primer according to airbrush manufacturer's recommendations if necessary and apply several light, even passes at moderate pressure to avoid obscuring detail. For brush application, use thin coats and allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Allow sufficient drying time before applying subsequent paint layers, washes or varnishes.

Usage recommendations

Test the primer on a spare part to determine the optimal thinning ratio and drying time for your tools and environmental conditions. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow standard safety precautions for hobby paints and solvents.
