Does this work well on abs/pla plastics from 3d printing?

The paint works well on abs/pla plastics from 3d printing. I haven't found any plastic it doesn't work well on.

What does the "l" stand for? tamiya has no information anywhere. need to know difference between regular "surface primer" and surface primer l" thanks

"L" cans are 180ml. Standard (non-L) cans are 100ml. Otherwise there appears to be no difference.

It might have already been asked, but is this a primer that is suitable for over coating with the Tamiya TS range of spray paints?

I have not found a paint that doesn't work with this primer

can i paint over it with tamiya acrylic brush on paint and can this primer be used on styrofoam

I use it with brush on paint all the time. I've never tried it on styrofoam though.

My preferred primer for my models. A little pricey, but I've never had any issues with this primer. Sticks to resin great, dries quickly, just the right thickness, durable & works perfectly for my needs

Exzellenter Primer; mein absolutes Go-To für Garage Kits und sonstige Modellarbeiten. Tamiya Surface Primer ist sehr deckend, trocknet schnell und ist gut zu bearbeiten, hält also, was es verspricht. Ich nutze sowohl hellgrau als auch weiß, wobei hellgrau Unebenheiten am besten sichtbar macht.
