I really cannot use Stynylez primers – I just get paint splatter and have to move my psi to 40+ just to get a slight improvement, I only use it for basic highlight before covering it with brush work – I have tried flow improver, thinner and two types of airbrush with 0.5 and 0.8 needles, but the white primer just doesn’t work for me – very tough to keep motivation to learning airbrush, when the halfords primer and army painter work so well out of the can.

I am going to try Vallejo primer to see if that works any better for the airbrush and compressor combo I am using, don’t want to give up, but very hard to learn from youtube and with no one around to give physical lessons, it’s very easy to struggle with this.

But for brush work army painter are a good system, as it matches with their paint range, so covering up missed bits is easy, if you buy into their range.

I would personally go with cheap halfords primer, Vallejo paints.
