Review: Use with caution - Mostly good but twice I got a white effect that ruined my painting. Now do a practice spray before using. Which seams wasteful but no problems since
Review: Unverzichtbarer Primer für Modellbauer - Ich nutze den Primer mittlerweile seit einigen Monaten für meine Miniaturen und bin rundum zufrieden. Er lässt sich gleichmäßig aufsprühen, trocknet schnell und hinterlässt eine matte Oberfläche, die perfekt für das anschließende Bemalen geeignet ist. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass er die Farben nicht verfälscht und die Haftung der Acrylfarben deutlich verbessert. Auch bei detaillierten Figuren kann man mit mehreren dünnen Schichten arbeiten, ohne dass Details verloren gehen. Die 400ml-Dose reicht für viele Projekte und ist einfach zu handhaben. Für mich ist dieser Primer inzwischen ein Standard in meinem Modellbau-Setup. Positiv: Gleichmäßige, matte Oberfläche Verbessert die Haftung von Acrylfarben Schnelltrocknend, auch für Details gut geeignet Große 400ml-Dose, lange haltbar Negativ: Aerosol-Dose muss gut geschüttelt werden Geruch beim Aufsprühen eher intensiv, daher Lüftung nötig Fazit: Ein zuverlässiger, qualitativ hochwertiger Primer, der das Bemalen von Miniaturen erheblich erleichtert – klare 5 Sterne.
