Great primer for modeling.
Use this primer as a base before painting any of my model pieces. Lays down really well. Give a really nice even coat prior to paint with final colors.

"Tamiya Light Gray Model Primer"
Tamiya light gray primer is the perfect primer for all of my plastic models. It covers great. And is a good base for your top coat paints. It sprays perfect every time. 5 Stars!!

Works great for plastic models
Saw this on a model building site, bought and it works perfectly. Lays down even, looks great and builds a nice foundation for painting on top of it. This is the only primer I use for my models now, especially as a primer for light blocking using chrome on top for the internal pieces. Quality product, reliable name brand, and looks good even if you leave it as a Gray rough finish on your parts

My Primer go-to...
It's worth the extra cost. It sprays well enough that I sometimes use it instead of my airbrush when priming. It coats evenly and with the perfect amount of thickness.

Skip the rest, this is best!
When I started painting miniatures a few years ago, I figured any acrylic primer from Home Depot would do. To some extent that's true, but this primer gives you a thinner coat that dries almost instantly and gets in the crevasses better. That allows you to build up really thin cots in a single priming session for the best results. Since then, I've also tried Army Painter's primers, which come in more colors, but still don't work as well as this. Is it expensive, yes. Is it worth the extra expense, yes. Could you get by with something cheaper, yes... until you try this and see the difference for yourself.
