I am in the process of building my first multi media kit, a WARP Eagle.
I have reached the point that i need to start priming the parts before assembly and final painting.
Can anyone recommend a primer suitable for white metal and resin.
Ideally i would like a water based primer, for ease of cleaning, that i can use in my airbrush.
Many Thanks
Newbie seeks primer!

Yep, it'll work on the metal too. It's pretty hot stuff.
I don't know of a supplier in the UK, although www.hlj.com carries it.
I thin it a bit with Lacquer thinner, about 10-20% or so--I just eyeball it.

I just use sandable flat acrylic automobile primer straight out of the spray can. Works great, and I don't have to worry about yet another reason to clean my airbrush.
