Sounds like a great primer alternative, but to echo what others have stated..be careful!  Unless you have a automotive spray booth to filter out the powerfull, harmful fumes like in an auto shop...you're playing roulet with you health.  Sometimes the risks outwiegh the percieved benefits.  Just a friendly "use caution" from one modeler to the next.  Good luck!

I would never use a spray paint inside of the house for the reason you just stated . Especialy now that cold weather is approaching and most people will be closing up the house and turning up the thermostat .Read the warnings label , "vapors may ignite explosively " , " extinguish all flames and pilot lights , turn off electric motors ,stoves ,heaters .

 A warning well worth heeding, from a professional standpoint.

My Ultiment Primer

I don't know about the rest of you, but i've tryed many primers and i have discovered what i consider the best hands down.

I've used tamiya fine primer, testors, model master, humbrol, several generic brands of walmart type and automoative primer (no brand name that i rember so i forget what they are called).
The best has 2 names actually:
-Quality Automoative Producs (QaP) Spray paint Primer,(BT235 Grey), 321g
-Plasti-Kote, Sandable Primer (T235 Grey), 340g

The closest in quality i find is tamiya fine primer. QaP will apply a thicker coat giving better coverage, will spread out along the plastic to fill in every tiney detail evenly, will not in ANY way fill in the most tiney of details, even when spraying way to much on a spot it looks better then testors spray primer. This stuff is also roughly 2/5 the price of tamiya primer for volume ($7 for QaP vs $12 for tamiya primer can that is half the size)

The only downsides are that the fumes from this are horrable, if you have a large house and spray in the basement, within 5 minutes you smell it throughout the house, and it's very hard to find.



So if you disagree with me, know of some falt with QaP, or know of something better then please let me know.
