I've used Krylon flat gray and black primer with no issues on the model.

I have noticed on the last two cans that the nozzle has clogged about 2/3 of the way through using the can, though. Unfortunately, right before it clogs completely it starts "spitting". Has anyone else had an issue like this with the spray cans? I keep them in a cool, dry location when I'm not using them so I'm not sure why they're doing it.

I got that with some Army Painter Daemonic Yellow primer I was using- two cans in a row. I was well within the recommended temperature ranges, and sprayed inverted to clean, etc. Still haven't figured what the problem was.. In my experience, time to toss the spray can once it starts 'spitting'.

Yes, I've also had this issue (with Krylon, just my black primer). I've been wiping it clean with a splash of acetone on a paper towel, and that seems to help quite a bit. Reoccurs regularly though.

So I'm sorry, yes I have used Krylon without issue, but I just primed a few models and realized the one that I've been using and really like is Rustoleum Ultra cover flats. I use white, black, and gray. Very nice cover.

Your models look totally fine, so if you like your results, they look good, keep doing what you're doing.

My problem with satin and gloss paints was my washes didn't flow, they blotch all over the model. FYI. I like flats because there's none of that.

For the love of God, if you plan on changing colors or anything, STRIP the paint so you can restart and don't just leave it with a crapload of layers. It looks okay, but I rather like using model paints, since they last quite a long time and I can achieve a lot of different things with just one pot.

Well I thought I would give you guys an update on what happened. I painted the whole tackle squad that I primed and it doesn't look half bad. I will try and post a picture tonight and see what you think.

Also for the pictures I previously posted the bottom one that was a lighter red was primed using army painter white primer then I did a few coats of watered down red (the citadel paints but not sure the exact colour as I don't have the colours by me right now) but I think I like the krylon colour red better because it's darker and a more even coat. Looks like the exorcist chapter from the space marines.

I also mentioned I had some problems with the spray being almost sticky but I found that I just had to let it dry a lot longer then it was good.

I'll post pictures soon

I'll throw another vote in for Krylon's Camoflage line of paints. I have used 4 colours of it, though predominantly black and love them to death.

I too have primed hundreds (possibly a thousand now :S ) of models with it and it can't be beat for price, quality and quantity (cheapy Walmart $0.99 don't have a lot of paint in them)
