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.

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.

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
