Alclad II Primers for Surface Prep and Better Metallic Paint Results

Alclad II Primers help create the smooth, dependable base that metallic and specialty finishes need. Good surface prep matters because flaws show up quickly once you begin spraying reflective or metallic colors. A proper primer coat improves adhesion, gives you a more even surface, and helps later paint layers look cleaner and more consistent.

These primers are useful for aircraft, armor, automotive, sci-fi, detail parts, structures, and custom projects where final finish quality matters. They are especially important before brighter reflective colors and polished metal effects.

Why Use Alclad II Primers

• Helps smooth out the surface before metallic top coats
• Improves adhesion on plastic, resin, and prepared metal parts
• Supports cleaner High Shine and polished metal finishes
• Makes it easier to build a more consistent airbrush workflow

After priming, move into Regular Finishes for realistic metal tone or High Shine for brighter polished effects. Add depth with Transparent Paints or Candy Colors, and finish with Clear Coats when needed. You can also browse the full Alclad II collection.
