A primer, also known as an undercoat, is recommended before you start painting. It prevents the paint from running on a smooth surface and provides better coverage. Applying a primer also ensures that the colors you apply later will be brighter. Everyone has their own favorite brand when it comes to primers. There are various types of primer available for model building, depending on the material you are using. For example, you can use an acrylic primer for plastic models, a metal-based primer for metal models, and special wood primers for wooden models. For the best results, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Don't forget to test the primer on a less visible area first.
