To be honest.. It depends on the finish you want to acheive.

Black undercoat is really easy use to get a tabletop standard relitively quickly.

White is more suited to a more time consuming paint job.

(this is from my experience anyway)

Its down to personal preference, both have advantages, both have disadvantages. A good painter can get a good finish from either of them.

Arguing about whether or not black or white primer is best is like arguing whether or not a tank brush or a detail brush are best. They are completely different tools for completely different situations, and using black primer for Imperial Fists (or white primer to do Goff battlewagons) as as inappropriate as using a tank brush to do eyes.

Well said
