Folks, I'm sure I could get thousands of recomendations for the "best" primer out there. But, I'm really just looking at what's most popular. I've got a small project coming up with multiple colors of plastic and brass to prepare for a final coat.

So, what's your favorite; rattle can, airbrush or brush on?

try some at your local hardware. before using it warm it up and shack and there should be no problems. its cheap ... a lot cheaper than the one sold at your hobbyshop.

Wally Mart 99 cent rattle can.

Cheap and never done me wrong...

Floquil Primer... thinned and airbrushed on, been using it for over 30 years, can't find a reason to change.

Tamyia Flat Black here...

Cheapie Walmart stuff here too

I use Vallejo primer through an air-brush. Seems to work with me. Some other people have pointed out in other posts that auto primer paint in a can is often very thick and can obscure details. I would be a bit wary of these rattle cans as they can also be difficult to control as well as flooding the model.

NOT About primer, but you said brass...

An artists trick to brass or gold, always start with a red base coat before the brass or gold it will greatly improve the look of the gold or brass.....

Testors "Gray Primer"...cheap, quick spray on..etc only business wal-mart gets from me :-)

I use Citadel minatures spray can primers , it comes in white, black or grey and goes on great

Well I've not used it as long as Grumpy but I do use it.I like the Floquil Primer to air brush smaller things.On larger projects with little or no under cuts I use automotive grey primer.It seams to me the cheaper it is the better it works.
