I've always sprayed my black/gray primer on with a can and will do the rest indoors with Model Air acrylics - do you guys use primer through your airbrush or can?

I have brushed on Vallejo gray primer on MMS white metal kits in the past, not on plastic.

I would want to use an acrylic water based primer

Nice --- does the Badger stuff need to be thinned or can you/do you apply direct ?

Stynylrez is also sold under Ammo's brand as One shot primer. I love it. I do apply few drops of thinner, airbrush it in few thin layers. Leave it to cure for 24 hours and voila. If you are going to use it on PE, i recommend treating with PE solutions first because, like any other acrylic primer I tried, it may not stick so good on metal.

I think I'm going to give this Badger primer a go, sounds good. I'd been wary of water based acrylic primers after reading about some brands lifting off. Presumably this stuff is not noxious in terms of vapours which would be a big plus as my current favourite black spray can primer (Halfords - great leveling, quick drying, pours out the can though) is seriously bad in that respect.
