Vallejo Sick Green Primer Spray (400ml)

Vallejo Sick Green Primer 28.028 — 400ml Spray Primer

Matte Spray Primer for Fantasy Miniatures

Green fantasy armies, reptilian skin, undead armor, toxic scenery, goblins, orcs, alien creatures, and plague-themed models often need a strong color base before the detail work begins. Vallejo Sick Green Primer gives those projects a fast, even foundation in a vivid green tone, helping you save time when painting large batches of miniatures or terrain pieces.

This spray can corresponds to Vallejo reference 28.028, Sick Green from the Fantasy Color Primer range. It is designed as a combination of primer and color base coat for metal, plastic, and resin models and miniatures, making it useful when the main color scheme already leans toward green fantasy tones. Instead of priming in white or grey and then building the green base separately, this 400ml spray helps you start closer to the final color direction.

The matte finish is especially useful for tabletop figures because it gives later acrylic layers, washes, drybrushing, and brush-painted highlights a surface that feels easier to work over. Because the Sick Green shade is matched to equivalent colors from the Vallejo Game Color and Model Color ranges, it also supports clean touch-ups and brushwork after the spray base has dried.

Why Choose Vallejo Sick Green Primer

• Primer and color base in one spray: Helps speed up the early stages of fantasy miniature painting by combining surface preparation and green base color.
• Great for green fantasy subjects: Useful for orcs, goblins, reptiles, swamp creatures, undead armor, alien skin, toxic terrain, and plague-style armies.
• Matte self-leveling finish: Designed to dry with a smooth, non-glossy surface while preserving fine sculpted details.
• Works on common hobby materials: Suitable for metal, plastic, and resin models when the surface is properly prepared.
• 400ml aerosol format: Practical for larger projects, terrain pieces, squads, armies, and repeated priming sessions.

Advanced Dual-Nozzle System

Each Vallejo Hobby Paint spray includes two nozzle options so you can adjust the spray pattern depending on the size of the project.

• Low-flow nozzle: Better for controlled work on smaller miniatures, detailed areas, and more precise application.
• Medium-flow nozzle: Better for larger figures, terrain pieces, vehicles, scenery, and faster coverage across bigger surfaces.

Technical Application & Safety Guide

Why Sick Green Is the Go-To Base for Orcs, Plague Models, and Swamp Terrain

Vallejo Sick Green Primer 28.028 is useful beyond obvious green creatures. It can work as a fast foundation for fantasy armor, jungle-themed armies, mutated monsters, alien infantry, toxic waste bases, swamp terrain, magical effects, and scenery where a strong green undertone helps the entire piece feel connected.

For army painters, the real advantage is speed and consistency. When many models share the same green foundation, the later steps become easier to control. You can add darker washes into recesses, drybrush lighter greens or yellow-greens over raised areas, and use standard Vallejo acrylic paints for highlights, weapons, leather, bone, cloth, and armor details.

Spray Distance, Temperature, and Coat Timing Tips for Vallejo Aerosol Primers

For best results, make sure the model is clean and dry before spraying. Dust, mold release, fingerprints, or sanding residue can interfere with adhesion, especially on plastic and resin parts. Use several light passes rather than trying to cover everything in one heavy coat, and let the surface dry before adding brush-painted details or additional effects.

Because this is a colored primer, always test it on a spare piece or hidden area first if the final color scheme depends on a very specific shade. Over dark materials, the green may look deeper; over lighter surfaces, it will appear brighter and more saturated. For matching touch-ups, use compatible Vallejo Game Color or Model Color greens where appropriate.

Hold the spray can about 25–30cm / 10–12 inches from the model for most miniature priming. Shake the can well before use, spray in a ventilated area, and apply light coats with short passes instead of holding the spray in one place too long. Let each coat flash off before adding another layer.
