Vallejo Metal Color - Gloss Black Primer 200ml

The secret behind every mirror-bright Metal Color finish — a smooth gloss black primer that gives the metallic pigments a glassy surface to sit on, so chrome comes up like chrome and aluminium reads as polished metal. Skip it and the metals go grey; use it and they shine.
