Smooth, Even Coverage - I’m honestly super impressed with this primer. The finish is incredibly smooth and uniform—even with just one or two coats, it levels out beautifully and makes everything look clean and professional. It covers really well and helps the paint adhere perfectly on top. What I love most is how forgiving it is. Even if your base isn’t perfect, this primer evens things out and makes the final result look polished. It dries nicely and doesn’t leave weird streaks or texture. Definitely a must-have if you want your project to look neat and high quality. I’ll 100% keep using it! Review: This is simply a great primer for use on polystyrene RC car bodies or models! - I have built scale car models since I was a kid then graduated to bigger models and RC cars. I never once used a primer, even on "body work" I'd done to smooth things out. I tried this primer and Tamiya's grey primer on a Sand Scorcher body and was floored - it laid down beautifully and left behind a super-fine, smooth surface for the paint to adhere to, and covered the sanding marks and Tamiya putty work perfectly w/o filling in the molded body details. Gave me a consistent pure-white body surface for the color coat, which also laid down perfectly. No problems at all. I highly recommend using this primer before painting any bare plastic. ## Features - Made by Tamiya USA; Tamiya USA is a United States based company; parts are sourced from Global producers - Tamiya USA part number TAM87044; UPC 950344870448 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000WS01E | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,519 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #19 in Primer Paint | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | White | | Color Code | #FFFFFF | | Container Type | Can | | Coverage | Full | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,934) | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344870448 | | Included Components | Paint | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Aerosol | | Item Volume | 180 ml | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Tamiya | | Model Name | TAM87044 | | Model Number | 87044-000 | | Paint Type | Oil | | Part Number | 87044-000 | | Size | 6.09 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | Spray-type primer specially developed for model finishing.
