Which Halford's Primer?

[yak face]

I'm considering the Poundland primer, but the primer you refer to (in the first reply) has multi-coloured tops and grey is not included. However:
http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/car-spray-paints/halfords-primer-grey-500ml


shows the same cans but the title refers to grey primer and lower down it says:


"Paint can shown is for illustrative purposes only. Colours may vary from shown." I will have to sort this out in a Halfords shop.


In the meantime, is the primer you prefer grey, or lurid colours?

Yep thats the one I use steve , the bog standard grey primer in the big can , as for colours i mainly use grey , but white and black also come in handy depending on the top colour . cheers tony

Ive used the Poundland stuff, but I prefer Halfords. The Poundland paint is a bit too dark IMHO, and it doesn't dry as smooth as Halfords. Also, get yourself one of these:

Screw it to the top of any rattle can, and it gives you flow control via trigger pressure. Still not as good as airbrushing, but far better than the torrent you usually get with a finger press! You can get them on eBay for about £5

If you have a Poundshop nearby Steve, save yourself a lot of money & get this

Same quantity (300ml) & a great finish. Even when I thought I'd been too heavy-handed, it dries tight & smooth.


It's touch dry in about 20 minutes & can be sanded within an hour

I took dubsters advice got myself 3 cans ( last of in store and I sprayed my Tamiya Centaur sprues with it and it looks even and dried well. Did the spraying outside as the fumes are a bit whiffy. Not one to be a penny pincher but the halfords is a bit rich for the same result

This looks like a good investment Andy so next time I pass lidl I'll pop in see if I can pick one up ( primers a bugger when you overspray

This is my weapon of choice, nearly half the price of the Halfords and it gives an amazingly smooth and hard surface, every time.
