After reading on here by many members I thought I would get some primer from Poundland but they didn't have any :( , I did however see black gloss which I needed for the wheels of my current build. I thought for a quid I might as well buy a can so I didn't have to use my airbrush and have to clean it out ;) , I have to say I'm impressed but a word of warning! Its very thin so fine layers and a slow build up is required! Three coats now and its looking as good as any spray paint I have ever used :)
 
Its also very smelly mark , watch out for the fumes , make sure youre wearing a mask and get plenty of ventilation . I used the white to spray an old bathroom cabinet and even though i did it outside and with a mask on i had headache for three days, tony
 
I use poundland rattle cans. Satin gloss, white, grey etc. All good for what they are, as Tony says, very smelly and I only spray outdoors with these.

Same lads! Only spray outside otherwise you will be like a stoner for hours :P

Update: Being so thin it does not like to cling to edges! The way I have found works is to spray the part with edges face down so the paint using gravity holds ;)

I tend to use it like using a airbrush, tend to do mist coats, only difference is I leave to dry prior to doing more.

Yep I've found it good, another benefit is it comes off really easy with methylated spirits, carpet, car roof, say no more.
