What primers do you use?

['08SEAL]

I am going to buy primer and so far, I only have, nothing. I don't know what to get. I am going to spray laquer and don't know which primer. Help?

You can use almost any primer you want, you are going to get people suggesting using plastikote , duplicolor, and so on .

I use duplicolor primer, I also use the cheap wally world primer, both work well.

Virgil just did a thread on primer, check it out

Plasticote,duplicolor and tamiya are all good primers the tamiya probably goes on the thinnest but is also the most expensive. as for plasticote and duplicolor you get more and if you are sanding inbetween coats the difference isn't even noticable. both are available as a sandable primer and a filling primer. it can be good to have both on hand I use the filling primer for the bodywork and the sandable for just before paint. also I use different colors to prime so I can see the low spots and potential body flaws. You can get good results with cheaper paints but they are more likely to cause problems so in the end better products are cheaper.
