Good

My husband is a total Vallejo fin boy. His hobby is 3D printing and then painting various models. He loves Vallejo paints and primers and that is all he uses. The primer works straight out of the bottle in his airbrush with no thinning needed and provides great coverage.

I received an airbrush kit for Xmas. Vallejo primers work great with it. After tweaking the psi, and trial and error, I was able to prime a dozen miniatures with ease in 30 minutes.Although the bottle states it’s airbrush ready, I did find that cutting the primer 50/50 with Vallejo airbrush thinner works much better than straight primer alone. No tip dry with the 50/50 mix, whereas I had to clean the needle repeatedly with the straight primer. It’s a good idea to grab thinner if you’re going to use this with an airbrush.Even though it’s designed for airbrushes, the primer can also be brushed on if you don’t have one. Either way it beats using rattle cans to prime and varnish. I will be buying the white and grey primers, and a matte varnish from Vallejo as well.

Good quality

Vallejo is the beet model paint and primer! Also, the large bottle saves money. I especially liked that the provider taped the lids closed to assure that there were no spills during shipment.

It's okay. Good coverage though very fragile. Unless you paint it or varnish it, it'll eventually scratch off with frequent handling.

Better than expected

It's just primer. It does the job fine. Good coverage, quick drying, and a good surface to paint over. Can't go wrong for priming minis.
