Badger Air-Brush SNR-402 Stynylrez Water Based Acrylic Polyurethane Surface Primer, 4-Ounce, Gray

This is an amazing airbrush primer. Drop a rattle can stainless ball inside for better mixing. Spray at 20psi. Needs a good sized needle...0.5mm. Dries very fast and very smooth. Both grey and black work very well. Do NOT buy this in winter where temps are below freezing. Will be destroyed during shipping. Only ship when danger of freezing doesn't exist. Cleans up easily.

It's the shade I consider ideal for airbrush priming, but beware, this stuff gets real sticky and gummy after a few minutes in the brush, so pace yourself and don't use it for more than 30minutes at a time. Other than that, this bonds incredibly well and sprays really clean right out of the bottle. I couldn't ask for more.

Great primer, lays on with one coat and has great opacity. Made color coats a lot easier (and more economical) to apply.

Grey Stynylrez works great as a brush-on primer or as an airbrush primer (thinned with a little water). This is my go-to for plastic, metal, and cast resin.

Relative decent primer. I've tried both this and the Vallejo primer and to be honest I like Vallejo a little bit better. Out of the bottle, the paint is surprisingly thick so I usually add a drop or two of flow improver to avoid clogging. I have no problem airbrushing at 13psi with two thin coats, anymore pressure and it begins to drip. Also, this is a personally reference but the paint is kind of dark for my taste so I mixed 1:1 of this and a white primer. The attached photo is the result. Overall, If you're already working with Vallejo then stick with it, this primer is not gonna make your life any better. I like the paint but I don't see a reason why you should buy this over Vallejo. Unless you want to buy your stuffs locally and if they don't have Vallejo then this is a good alternative. Also, some people say that this primer is more resistant to chipping than Vallejo but I cannot spot the difference.

I bought this as an alternative to Tamiya Fine Grey primer based on a few reviews. I was tempted to try Vallejo primers (I already use their acrylics) but multiple reports of peeling and the inability to sand it dissuaded me. Some reviews of Stynylrez were highly favorable but some noted that it was difficult to spray and clean out of an airbrush, or that it was far too thick to use. With respect to the latter, it turns out that if the product freezes or has been frozen, it’s no longer usable and must be discarded. Re: the former, I sprayed it through a Paasche H airbrush with an HT-5 tip with no problems at all. I couldn’t believe how smoothly it laid down, and it dried without the slightly rough texture of Tamiya’s primer. (Next time I may try using an HT-3 tip.) Moreover, cleanup was a snap with water. I also tried sanding it and was again delightfully surprised - i got a fine feathered edge with no tearing or lifting up. I’ve since ordered another bottle of white to my collection. The price may seem high but I primed a 1/48 scale V-2 rocket and found that a little went a long way. I think the bottle will last me for many, many model builds. Highly recommended!

This stuff is AMAZING! I used an army painter brush and it only took two thin coats for a beautiful matte very finely toothy finish. Mr Surfacer leaves a shiny finish that’s beautiful but paint slips on. Some may like the slip, I prefer a more toothy surface. I have tried so many primers and this blows the rest away. Just bought it in white too.

Straight out of the bottle this primer works really well !! It’s also a military color !!

I have been looking for a sprayable primer that does not stink the house out, and this primer fits the bill, it is very thick paint but can be sprayed without thinning, but I choose to thin mine down a bit and spray at 20psi which seems to work ok, although I might experiment a bit more, the one thing that most modellers want is a primer that is able to sand back easily and does not give a ledge or peel back, this primer seems to sand back very well, and dries very quickly, it also has some very good reviews on the modelling forums and on Youtube, so if you are looking for a primer then this is the one

Great product!

all as described, I recommend
