Has anyone tried Automotive Lacquer Primer ?

I was at a NAPA auto parts store and saw that they sold Auto paints. Asked the salesman if they might have a primer that would work on styrene plastic. He gave me a Light Gray Lacquer Primer_Surfacer, (Instant Dry). I did not use it right away and forgot about it. Then I started building again and tried it. It went on very course and clogged eaisly.(In Airbrush) I had thinned it with lacquer thinner, WRONG! Switched to Acetone and this is the best primer I have used, thin coat, fast dry,easy sand and great top coats. And a Quart last forever. I like to save the money but having plenty to use sure is nice. Just wondered if anyone else has tried auto paints thru an airbrush?
