Model paints especially water-based types may have trouble adhering to metal parts. It's quite easy to scuff the surface and paint or primers peeling from large metal surfaces such as tank skirts is not uncommon. With VMS Metal Prep you will be doing your paint coat a favour - it will be much more durable if applied over parts primed with our metal primer! Meta Prep ensures that the paint applied over metal parts adheres much better and is not prone to scuffing! Metal Prep 4K is a primer for metal parts boosting paint adhesion an mitigating problems such as paint peeling at vulnerable areas, paint scuffing or general poor adhesion of acrylic paints. Paint coats preceded by Metal Prep 4K gain much desired durability. Product is applied with a brush to form a translucent and thin film which won't affect a model's detail. IMPORTANT: Please degrease metal parts with VMS Styrene Cement Standard Type prior application of the primer! What's the best technique for precise application of the primer? Use flat or cat's tongue brushes apply thin coat and let it level on it's own. ‚ÄãHow effective is the primer? One model requires around 0.5-1 ml of primer depending on the PE amount, bottle holds 30 ml. You will be able to finish around 30-60 1/35 scale models before you run out of the primer. What agent to use to clean brushes? Please use cleaning products for acrylic paints such as VMS Cleaners Pro or an equivalent. How long do I need to wait before I can start painting my model? Primer dries in 15-30 minutes depending on ambient temperature. You can usually start painting in 20 minutes after application.

Only found out about this stuff recently and I can now say confidently that it's amazing in helping paint to adhere firmly to the metallic parts of my model ship kit. Just what I needed and it goes a long way. Delivery was very fast. couldn't be happier. Will definitely be buying again when I run out.

Tried this for first time on Tamiya Spitfire PE. Does appear to enhance paint adhesion but need to use more to ensure works as promised

Does what it’s supposed to neatly and cleanly, you could use other things to prime metal parts, but 4K Metal prep is convenient and evaporates quickly to leave a clean surface ready for painting. Key advantage is that to properly adheres to the metal surface and helps paint stay on the surface, and resist scratching.
