So I always here from people that I should stop buying primer at the game store and just go and hit the hardware store.

I need to run to Home Depot today and I need to get some minis primed before the weather gets too wet or cold. So I need advice on what primer to get. I am always worried that I am gonna buy a can of something from the hardware store designed to paint chairs or something and end up coating my minis in 10 pounds of paint.

Any suggestions?

Duplicolor Sandable Primer.

I get mine at Advanced Auto Parts or Pep Boys. I swear by this stuff. Coats nice and even. I found it recommended on the Brush Thralls site a few years ago. Haven't looked back since. :D

I'll have to grab some today. Its an unseasonable warm 65 out in Chicago so I figure this is natures way of telling me to prime mini today or else you wont get another good chance till after the new year.

This stuff, such a nice satin smooth finish.

I've been using Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Primer for a while now. No issues. Unlike the 6 cans of GW and Armory sitting on the shelf...

This is what I use. I use grey. Been using it for years. As always though, multiple thin coats are the way to go.

I also use the basic Krylon gloss and flat clears for sealing.

I asked this same question a few weeks ago. The responses I got were all either Krylon or Dupli Color primers. I picked up a Krylon grey (they only had white and grey at the Michaels I went to) but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

I had some Rustoleum that I picked up a while back but haven't had very good luck with it. It goes on very thick and obscures some details a bit.
