The other aerosol cans in ths first photo are sold at Walmart in the U.S. I really like these paints because like the Krylon Tough Coat, they spray on in a very fine, almost transparent coat. There is a small amount of pigment compared to the carrier and it's very close to spraying with an airbrush. You can lightly spray your parts with a couple of coats or you can keep going until the paint looks more opaque. These are not heavy, void filling pigments but they really are perfect for small scale, fine detail projects. Gray, white and black are pretty good for priming most any project, depending upon what colors you will be applying as finish paint. If you compare straight across to VHT brand primer (very good for a lot of other applications) you'll notice that the cans don't seem go as far. The trade off is the very low cost of under one dollar per can. At one third to one quarter the cost of most other aerosols, these colors are very cost effective. You will still be able to prime a lot of projects before a can runs out. These paints dry quickly, are non gritty and really do make the boring part of painting that much easier. The photos show a buff colored resin kit primed in both white and gray. The parts are ready for painting and all the fine details are still visible. All text and images © Michael Bishop
