Today I decided to get some priming out of the way for when I start to paint my Blood Angels. I primed some sprues with Krylon Flat White and those turned out perfect. But then later I tried to prime some of my un-attached backpacks and jet packs and for some reason they look gritty.
Any reason why this happen on some items but not the others?
I'm thinking I should just strip the primer and try it again cause I'd hate for this to result in a poor paintjob later.

They immediately began performing much better.

A lot of it happens because of humidity. If the temperature is much above 80 and there's a lot of humidity in the air, it will screw up your priming. However, you can remove a lot of the grit with a toothbrush. I did this for my stormtroopers and they came out grand. Alternately, you didn't shake the can enough between sprays.

This reason explains a lot. Thank you.
I'll take a toothbrush to it tomorrow and see how that works. If not I can always strip them and try again when the weather isn't so terrible, or just do it inside.

Nah it was on a board covered with a thin material outside. But the weather here has been really humid as of late. So I'm shocked this is the first time I've dealt with this issue.
How would cardboard cause this?

Brother SRM is exactly right. Humidity tends to cause that. I primed an Armorcast Shadowsword about 10 years ago after it had just rained. The whole model turned out almost fuzzy and pitted. Needless to say I'll not make that mistake again. You can generally get the humidity level in your are around where you live on weather websites. You definately don't want to even try to paint when it is 85% or higher. It tends to leave a rough finish on them.
