Anyone else decant TAMIYA fine spray primer?

[Ahajmano]

I started decanting and spraying with my airbrush recently, to reduce the overstay waste and get the corners. Anyone else successful at this? 

 One problem I am having is that it seems to be drying mid air before it hits the car body. I think this is the problem because I’m getting a build up of primer in clumps on the surface, creating a rough and textured surface. It also could be from the inclusion of water  from my compressor. Maybe I should thin it. Anyone else have this problem? 

i really enjoy the badger stylrez primer, But not for the car body. The surface finish is too rough and takes a lot of sanding to get glass smooth, before I spray on my laquer color.

Why not give Walmart primer a try? Goes on smooth, and so cheap you don't need to worry about "wasting" it like with the ultra-$$$ Tamiya stuff.

I use Rustoleum primer. And canned paint. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I just painted the Dukes Of Hazards Charger and it came out alright. I'll sand it down some and see if I can get rid of the orange peel. I do have to get a paint booth because I want to try using my air brush and it's getting cold here in the North East. I want to paint this winter.

I always use Tamiya primer, however I just shoot it from the can with great results. No muss, no fuss, just "shake 'n spray."
