I use GW white primer a lot and I prime figures both in plastic and metal. Recently I had an awful experience when I primed some plastic and resin figures and they all turned out with this dusty surface. Most of it comes off with a wet brush but it did screw up the resin space marine a fair bit (I came very close to tossing it in the garbage). How can I prevent this dust from reappearing? I have used this primer many times before with little trouble - in fact, I have used this exact can before without problems. It was a warm day, dry, with no strange weather considerations when I did this. I am thinking I didn't shake the can enough. Any ideas?
Further to this.. I recently bought an Army Painter can of black primer - it worked great and it is about $7 cheaper than the GW stuff (and same size). I am thinking of going for white as well in this brand and I wonder what people have experienced with it so far. I heard they have coloured primers as well.

I find that with primer if I use a papertowl and buff it it will come out pretty smooth

Thx for the reply. As a matter of curiosity, is your paper towel dry or damp?
Dry...it is like a fine grit sandpaper. YOu can try a dry coffe filter too or micromesh.
I've heard that warming the can by placing it in a bowl of hot water can help the flow as well. I'd be interested in other ideas as I had this happen recently with a Krylon spray primer.
Since then I have used the can again -shook it a lot longer - and everything was fine. I am beginning to think it was a shaking issue. Nonetheless, I think I will try the Army Painter brand. The black has worked great thus far and it is about 30% cheaper than GW.

I rub out Krylon primer with Kleenex tissues. It is about equivalent to 10,000 or 12,000 wet or dry sandpaper/polishing paper, but much cheaper and I use it dry. I can put a gloss finish over it when I prepare it that way.
