Tamiya Surface Primer L Grey is a high-quality spray primer designed to provide a smooth, durable base coat before applying your final paint colours.

The Tamiya 87042 grey primer is suitable for both plastic and metal parts, making it ideal for scale models, RC bodies, accessories and model modifications.

Recommended Use

For the best results, make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from grease, dust and contaminants before applying the primer.

Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat, allowing suitable drying time between applications.

Once dry, the primer can be lightly wet sanded if required to achieve an even smoother surface before applying the final paint colour.

Tamiya recommends this grey primer particularly when working over darker surfaces because its strong coverage helps create a consistent base for subsequent paint coats.
