FAQs
Is this primer safe for resin models?

Do I need to wash my models before priming?
It is highly recommended to wash resin or metal models in warm, soapy water to remove mold release agents before priming.
How long should I wait before painting over the primer?
While it dries to the touch in minutes, it is best to wait at least 30 to 60 minutes to ensure the primer is fully cured.
Can I use this in cold weather?
Avoid using the spray if the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius or in high humidity, as this can affect the finish and cure time.
Is this a matte or gloss finish?
This product features a smooth, flat matt finish.
Troubleshooting
The finish looks grainy or textured.
The spray distance was likely too far from the model, causing the paint to dry mid-air. Move closer and use shorter bursts.
The nozzle is clogged or producing an uneven spray.
Soak the nozzle in isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes, or replace it with a spare nozzle if available.
Paint is pooling in recesses.
You are spraying too close or moving too slowly. Apply thinner coats and increase the speed of your passes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, store your can at room temperature for at least an hour before use. Shake the canister vigorously for two full minutes to ensure the pigments are thoroughly mixed. Always test the spray on a piece of scrap plastic or cardboard before committing to your miniature. Keep the can 15-20cm away from the model while spraying. When finished, invert the can and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the nozzle of paint residue, preventing clogs for your next session. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations.
