Surface Preparation with Mr.Hobby GSI-B506 Surface No.500

A clean, even base is essential for painted models. The Mr.Hobby GSI-B506 Surface No.500 primer spray helps level small surface defects and creates a reliable ground for topcoats on plastic and resin components.

Benefits for Scale and RC Modelling

The GSI-B506 offers a fine mist that fills minor pits and smooths textured areas without losing fine moulded detail, making it suitable for body shells, scale accessories and resin upgrades often used in modelling projects.

Application and Care Notes

Ensure parts are dry and free from grease before use and shake the can thoroughly. Apply several thin, even layers from a steady distance, allowing each coat to dry before adding more. For the cleanest results, wait until the primer is fully dry before sanding or painting.

Will the primer hide fine seams?

It will reduce the appearance of small seams and blemishes but is not a substitute for proper seam filling; use putty for larger gaps before priming.

What grit should I use for sanding the primer?

Use fine grit sandpaper, such as 400 to 800, for smoothing primer without damaging detail; adjust grit based on the level of texture you need to remove.

Is surface preparation different for resin parts?

Resin often needs extra cleaning and a light scuff to promote adhesion; wash parts and remove mold release agents before priming for the best bond.

Can I topcoat straight after priming?

Allow primer to dry fully; in many cases a short wait is fine but for sanding or major finish work let it cure longer to avoid pulling or marking the topcoat.

Any special storage tips for the can?

Store the can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight and follow the manufacturer's safety guidance on the label.
