One problem these days with primers is that many cans do not really identify the type of paint. Acrylic enamels and acrylic lacquers are now on shelves, so even if it says lacquer or enamel, you don't know if it is an acrylic enamel or a solvent enamel- same with lacquers. All I know is I stick with Krylon primer, and everything I have used with it works okay. I HAVE had problems with Rustoleum primer and various paints.
