                        I like Floquil's primer that they sell in the Railroad color line.
                        It is carried at most hobby shops.

                        I also use Krylon sandable primer. Make sure that you spray it outdoors.

                        I prefer Tamiya primer because the pigment is very fine and it doesn't cover surface details. I haven't used the Floquil, but I just used some Krylon on some metal landing gear and it seemed to cover up more detail than the Tamiya would have. Unfortunately the Tamiya probably wouldn't stick to metal. I did spray the Krylon straight from the can and didn't decant it and spray it with my airbrush, but I spray the Tamiya straight from the can as well.
