I personally use Tamiya Fine White primer for my models. I start with the rattle can for the first aplication.

This stuff:

Then I go back and fix any imperfections that the primer shows. Once that is done I airbrush the sanded areas with the bottled version thinned with automotive grade acrlyic lacquer thinner.

Thinned with this stuff:

I do go back and hit the whole thing with some 2000 grit wet sandpaper to take out any roughness or chunks.

This has worked well for me but it did take some trial and error to get there.

HTH and God Bless,
