Vallejo Surface Primer Steel Grey 18 ml

Vallejo Surface Primer Steel Grey 18 ml is a water-based acrylic polyurethane primer for preparing miniatures, models and scenery before painting. The Steel Grey colour establishes a consistent foundation that helps later acrylic layers adhere evenly across properly cleaned surfaces.

This 18 ml primer can be applied with an airbrush or brushed onto smaller areas. Steel Grey is useful for shadows, armour, stone, weapons, machinery and neutral underpainting. Apply it in thin coats and allow the surface to dry fully before adding base colours, shading or highlights.

Preparing models with Steel Grey primer

First, remove dust, grease and mould-release residue from the model. Shake the bottle thoroughly, then apply light, even coats without obscuring fine detail. Because drying conditions vary, allow the primer to cure before masking or continuing with the main colour scheme.

Product reference 70.630 makes the shade easy to identify when restocking. The accompanying Game Air colour chart can also help you compare the primer with compatible colours from the wider painting range.
