Vallejo Acrylic Primer, Fast-Drying Desert Sand Paint for Airbrush, Ideal for Modeling and Miniatures, 60 ml

Description:

  • The primer is the first layer of colour that is applied on the model in order to prepare the surface for the subsequent painting processes. In order to guarantee an excellent adherence it is necessary to apply it on a previously ‘degreased’ surface, therefore it is advisable to wash the model or the figure before priming it in order to remove the remains of release agents
  • Vallejo Primers is a range of acrylic primers specially formulated for airbrushing. Recommended compressor settings for our colours are around 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg. Primer is not flammable, and does not contain solvents
  • The primers are applied in successive coats and dry quickly, forming a homogeneous film of extraordinary hardness and resistance within a few hours after application. They can be used directly or diluted with our Airbrush Thinner (B002X6DTHK) or Flow Improver (B00QD780G0)
  • The desert tan primer is available in 18 ml (0.6 fl. oz.) bottles with dropper, and 60 ml (2.02 fl. oz.) and 200 ml (6.76 fl. oz.) bottles with hinged cap and eyedropper
  • Note: The brand Vallejo is currently in the process of rebranding, therefore, for a period of time, it is possible that you may receive the product with either the new packaging or the old packaging.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Primo primer

    D.M. · 25 January 2026

    Fantastic product, great coverage, self levelling so no brush marks, a good neutral colour and adheres well. Good value for money and a highly recommended bit of kit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended all-round primer for miniature painters.

    P.D. · 8 May 2021

    I gave this product 5stars for ease of use - and by that I mean it is easy to pop off the lid and pour out the paint - though this is an airbrushing product and getting the dilution absolutely correct is a dark art - something I am only starting to grasp. In general, I think this is an excellent primer. I use it exclusively for priming miniatures. It takes a few light coats to get full coverage, but as long as you use a gentle touch and let each coat dry fully between applications then it produces beautiful results. When compared to rattle-can spray-primers, the preservation of detail and absence of additional texture when using an airbrush to apply the primer is stark. The finish is a pale, neutral grey; much closer to white than black. I have not yet tried brush-painting directly onto the primed mini, only airbrushing paints on, and that works great. Just go easy and let things dry before you add more layers. As for diluting your paint, I found I had to or else it dried on the airbrush tip/nozzle. I tried distilled water, airbrush flow improver, standard thinner, and airbrush thinner (all Vallejo) in different combinations. The dedicated airbrush thinner would be my go-to, ease-of-use recommendation with my current level of experience. Be aware that this is very thin paint with a very low surface tension straight out of the pot, and it is easy for the lid to get messy. I transfer an aliquot to a smaller dropper bottle with a narrow applicator and carefully dilute in the dropper bottle so I can transfer directly to the airbrush. And I prime in batches (priming days) because you will need to strip down the airbrush and give it a full clean after using primer - it likes to dry quickly, and it particularly likes to dry to itself. Will be buying more Vallejo primers from this range.
