Primer paint VALLEJO 28.010 base primer 0.4 L ready-mixed for plastic

VALLEJO 28.010 base primer is a ready-mixed primer paint supplied in a 0.4 L bottle and formulated for use on plastic surfaces. It provides a uniform, white base coat that improves adhesion of subsequent paints and evens out small surface imperfections on plastic model kits, figures and other plastic parts. The solvent-based formula is suitable for hobby and modeling workflows where a stable undercoat is needed before finishing paints are applied.

Advantages

The product comes ready to use from the bottle, eliminating the need for on-site mixing. Its white, opaque finish creates a consistent, high-coverage base that helps reveal surface flaws and ensures even color application for topcoats. The solvent-based formulation adheres well to plastic substrates and dries to a durable film, while the composition avoids CFCs and toluene. Packaged in a 0.4 L container, the primer offers enough volume for several medium-scale projects or multiple small models.

Suitable for

• Plastic model kits and scale figures
• Hobby and diorama components made of polystyrene or ABS
• Preparation of plastic parts before airbrushing or brush painting
• Surface leveling and adhesion improvement on plastic substrates

How to use

Ensure the plastic surface is clean, dry and free of dust, grease or mold release agents. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use to homogenize the product. Apply the primer in thin, even coats to avoid runs; allow sufficient drying time between coats according to ambient temperature and ventilation. For best results, apply by brush or airbrush depending on the workflow, and lightly sand between coats if necessary to remove imperfections. After the primer has fully cured, proceed with selected topcoats and finishing steps.

Usage recommendations

Use in a well-ventilated area and keep away from open flames or sparks due to flammability. Store the product in a cool, dry place and follow standard safety precautions for solvent-based paints, including wearing appropriate gloves and eye protection when handling.
