Adhesion promoters are surface preparation products designed to help paints, primers, and coatings bond more effectively to difficult materials such as plastic, resin, glass, and metal. They’re essential for achieving a durable, long-lasting finish on models, miniatures, and automotive projects.
Key Features:
-
Improved bonding: enhances grip between surface and paint Works on challenging surfaces: including polycarbonate, ABS, PVC, resin, and metals
-
Easy application: available in aerosol spray or brush-on liquid formats
-
Transparent finish: won’t affect final paint color Compatible with multiple paint types - acrylic, enamel, lacquer
Popular Uses:
-
Scale models & miniatures: especially resin kits or vinyl figures
-
Automotive: bumpers, trim, and plastic components
-
Custom painting: helmets, RC bodies, props, and cosplay builds

Mixed-material builds: ensuring consistent paint hold across surfaces
Application Tips:
- Clean the surface, remove dust, oils, and fingerprints
- Apply light coats, thin, even layers give best results
