Surface Prep for Accurate Model Finishes

The Tamiya 87042 Surface Primer in large gray is a handy tool for RC builders who want a clean, even base for paint. This 180ml spray fills fine scratches and evens out surfaces so topcoats adhere more reliably and sanding runs smoother.

Where to Use This Gray Primer

This primer works well on both plastic and metal parts commonly found on RC kits. It helps reveal small defects and makes sanding and touch ups much easier before you apply final colours. The 180ml can provides enough volume for several small to medium projects.

Tips for Smooth Application

  • Start with a clean, dry surface to avoid trapping dust or moisture.
  • Shake the can vigorously to fully mix the pigment and binder.
  • Spray light, overlapping passes rather than one heavy coat to prevent runs.
  • Let each coat dry fully before sanding or adding another layer for best results.

Received all items. Good packaging. Excellent service
Yes, the primer bonds to metal as well as plastic, but degrease and clean metal with a suitable solvent before spraying.
Wait until the primer is touch dry, typically 15-20 minutes, then allow a bit longer if humidity is high before sanding gently.
Apply thin coats to preserve delicate details; multiple light passes are better than a single heavy layer to avoid filling in mould lines.
