Do you decant this and spray through a ab Steve? If so what cleaner do you use?\ said:I use the Halfords Plastic Primer as in the first reply. It works for me! I've never tried the other one so can't comment on that.

No, I mist it on from the can as best I can. You do need to be careful not to overdo it. I have attempted to decant sprays for airbrushing with mixed success....well, disasters sometimes. I don't do it anymore.\ said:Do you decant this and spray through a ab Steve? If so what cleaner do you use?
Serves you right for spraying it up your nose!\ said:Personally steve i just use the standard grey primer from halfords in the big can for about £8 . Ive used the stuff from Boyes and its fine but i think the halfords gives a smoother finish . The only time i tried any sprays from poundland it it was a white gloss and it gave me a banging headache so i cant comment pn their primer , tony
Absolutely spot on....... That's what I use.\ said:If you have a Poundshop nearby Steve, save yourself a lot of money & get this

Same quantity (300ml) & a great finish. Even when I thought I'd been too heavy-handed, it dries tight & smooth.
It's touch dry in about 20 minutes & can be sanded within an hour
I'm considering the Poundland primer, but the primer you refer to (in the first reply) has multi-coloured tops and grey is not included. However:\ said:I use the Halfords Plastic Primer as in the first reply. It works for me! I've never tried the other one so can't comment on that.

Yep thats the one I use steve , the bog standard grey primer in the big can , as for colours i mainly use grey , but white and black also come in handy depending on the top colour . cheers tony\ said:I'm considering the Poundland primer, but the primer you refer to (in the first reply) has multi-coloured tops and grey is not included. However:
http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/car-spray-paints/halfords-primer-grey-500ml
shows the same cans but the title refers to grey primer and lower down it says:
"Paint can shown is for illustrative purposes only. Colours may vary from shown." I will have to sort this out in a Halfords shop.
In the meantime, is the primer you prefer grey, or lurid colours?
I took dubsters advice got myself 3 cans ( last of in store and I sprayed my Tamiya Centaur sprues with it and it looks even and dried well. Did the spraying outside as the fumes are a bit whiffy. Not one to be a penny pincher but the halfords is a bit rich for the same result\ said:If you have a Poundshop nearby Steve, save yourself a lot of money & get this

This looks like a good investment Andy so next time I pass lidl I'll pop in see if I can pick one up ( primers a bugger when you overspray\ said:Ive used the Poundland stuff, but I prefer Halfords. The Poundland paint is a bit too dark IMHO, and it doesn't dry as smooth as Halfords. Also, get yourself one of these:

Screw it to the top of any rattle can, and it gives you flow control via trigger pressure. Still not as good as airbrushing, but far better than the torrent you usually get with a finger press! You can get them on eBay for about £5
