VMS Modelling Primer

No-Peel Primer No.5 Iron Oxide Red (30ml)

VMS No-Peel Primer No.5 Iron Oxide Red is a high-performance, water-based modelling primer that delivers solvent-grade adhesion while remaining odourless and easy to work with. It bonds strongly to plastic, resin, metal and 3D printed parts, creating a durable surface that resists lifting during masking and handling.

The iron oxide red tone is ideal for armour subjects, rust bases, and modulation work, giving instant depth to weathering layers while still preserving fine surface detail. Supplied pre-thinned for airbrush use, it sprays straight from the bottle through 0.2mm to 0.4mm nozzles, producing smooth, self-levelling coverage with no loss of sharp edges or panel lines.

Natural drying typically takes 20 to 40 minutes, or under 3 minutes with forced airflow. Painting can begin after around two hours of natural curing, or approximately 30 minutes when assisted. Cleanup is quick and simple using tap water, making it practical for regular airbrush sessions.
