Grey Surface Primer for Clean Finishes

The Tamiya 87042 Surface Primer in large grey is a straightforward choice for RC model finishing. This 180ml aerosol helps you build an even undercoat so filler and paint behave predictably.

Best Uses and Substrates

Designed for common modelling materials, the primer adheres well to both plastic and metal parts. It brings out small surface defects for correction and sands back smoothly, helping you prepare pieces for final colour coats. The larger 180ml can is convenient for multiple parts or full body shells.

Handy Usage Advice

Clean and degrease parts before applying primer to ensure a good bond.
Shake the can thoroughly to distribute the pigment evenly.
Spray in controlled passes and keep the nozzle moving to prevent runs.
Let coats dry fully between applications to get the best sandable surface.

Can this primer be used on painted parts for touch ups?

Yes, for minor touch ups you can prime over existing paint after lightly scuffing the area so the primer keys to the surface.

How should I store the can between uses?

Store the can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve propellant and product quality.

Is a grey primer suitable under light metallic paints?

Grey is a neutral base and generally works well under metallics, but for very light or translucent metallics consider a lighter base if you need extra brightness.

Can I thin this primer for airbrush use?

Aerosol primers are not designed for thinning for airbrush use; if you need airbrush application choose a product specifically formulated for that purpose.
