Yep I use them all the time. Yes they are grainy but I use 0000 wire wool to smooth it out, (it wont take off any raised detail). Don't forget to wash the model again if you do this. Works a treat.

I don't have access to 0000 steelwool, so I use 800 grit wet&dry sandpaper. If I want it really smooth (for a car) then I work my way up to 2000 grit. Works great and I buy my primers at Halfords, very affordable and you can do a lot of models with one can.
