Acrylic primer Vallejo 69.057, green, 17 ml, liquid solvent-free

Vallejo Acrylic Primer 69.057 is a solvent-free green liquid primer in a 17 ml bottle designed for hobbyists and model makers. This water-based primer creates a uniform preparatory layer on plastic models, miniatures and small craft items, improving paint adhesion while preserving fine surface detail. The new formula offers a satin-like finish with increased resistance to impact, friction and handling, and it dries to a hard, even coat that keeps the original texture and fine details visible.

Advantages

The primer’s solvent-free, water-based composition produces minimal odor and is suitable for indoor use and detailed work. It delivers excellent adhesion to difficult surfaces and forms an extra-resistant, impact-proof layer after drying. Vallejo’s updated formulation maintains the smallest model details while providing a satin surface that accepts subsequent acrylic paints and weathering techniques. The product is compatible with airbrushing or brush application and can be thinned with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for airbrush use.

Suitable for

• Priming plastic and resin model kits and miniatures
• Small-scale craft and hobby projects requiring a uniform base layer
• Airbrush or brush application before painting and weathering

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml
• Composition: water-based, solvent-free acrylic

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use. For brush application apply thin, even coats and allow each layer to dry before adding the next. For airbrushing the product can be used directly from the bottle or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to improve flow. Apply several thin layers rather than one heavy coat; a few hours after application the primer will dry to a homogenous, durable surface ready for acrylic paints and weathering techniques. Clean airbrush equipment after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or an appropriate water-based cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Use in a well-ventilated area; although the formula is solvent-free and non-flammable, follow standard hobby safety practices. Test on a spare part before full application to check coverage and thinning ratio for your specific airbrush setup. Store the bottle tightly closed and avoid exposure to freezing temperatures or direct sunlight.
