SM Sheik Mainland Brush Painting Primer (5ml)

If your Gunpla/scale model has sanding marks, uneven surfaces, or you’re switching colors for your kits —this 5ml brush painting primer is your pre-paint game-changer! Tailored for brush-applied coats (no thinning needed), it levels rough surfaces, reveals hidden defects before you paint, and creates a neutral base so the painted colors can truly pop (no muddy tones from dark plastic). Built for beginners and veterans, it’s the step that turns paint finishes into pro-level builds.

Key Features

• Brush-Paint Ready
  Minimum thinning required—just shake & apply (perfect for hobbyists who prefer brush work over spraying).
• Surface Leveling Pro
  Evens sanding marks, fills minor pot defects, and creates a uniform base; reveals flaws early to fix before painting.
• Light Color Prep
  Eliminates “muddy” paint results when switching to lighter tones (white primer recommended for beginners—minimizes impact on final color vibrancy).
• Layer-Friendly Formula
  Thin-coat design (2–3 layers) avoids buildup/blemishes; pairs with Sheik Mainland paints to create rich, layered color textures.
• Veteran & Newbie-Friendly
  Newbies get a forgiving base (white primer = minimal color distortion); veterans can experiment with colored primers for custom tone boosts.

Usage & Care

1. Prep
   Clean model parts to avoid any oil/dust on the surface, make sure the parts are dry prior to application.  
2. Apply
   Shake the bottle thoroughly, then apply full-coverage layers with brushes. The rule of thumb is to let the primer fully dry out before applying another layer, and keep each layer thin. Usually 2–3 coats in total would be sufficient, focus on evenness over thickness. For beginners, it’s recommended to try out the white primer first as it minimizes impact on final color vibrancy.
3. Dry
   Let air-dry for 3 hours before applying following steps such as adding another layer, sanding, painting, etc. Make sure the surface is dry to touch.
4. Store
   Seal tightly after use; keep in a cool, dry space.

Precautions

• Avoid thick coats (leads to buildup/blemishes)—stick to 2–3 thin layers.
• Use primer promptly after opening (store unused product in a non-water permeable palette/container).
• Clean fresh primer off brushes with water; use alcohol to remove dry primer (if needed).

Please note that this product is suitable for brush painting, NOT air brushing
