Reviews : Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer White/40ml

This is for when I too lazy to pull out the putty and try to squeeze it between seams. This works just as well, albeit it's much softer than putty. Since it's primer, it doesn't interfere with painting. Even if you're too lazy to primer again after using this, you can still paint over it with no fears. In fact it'll probably hold the paint better since it is a primer. It's not plastic cement so DO NOT USE IT AS PLASTIC CEMENT. Things will fall off.

Easy to use. I sprayed it on with my airbrush mixed at a ratio of 2 parts paint 1 part Tamiya Lacquer Thinner at 25 psi. It went down very smooth, let it dry for about 48 hours as recommended. Very strong bond, sprayed Tamiya acrylic paint over top with no issues of lifting or bleed through. Overall I would say this is an excellent primer.

Really versatile product. You can use it straight out of the bottle as a putty for small surface imperfections, or thin it down and spray it as a primer. The white color makes for an ideal base for bright colors.

The best surface prime I've used! Lays on nicely and dries to a nice paintable surface. Fairly priced and the 40ml bottle size is good.

Good base color for bright reds and yellows. Can be sanded for a very smooth finish to help the paint color sit very flat.

Use to prime photo etched parts. Have had no chipping problems yet.
