okay here is the result so far with the kyron white primer.
The primer needs to be dry at least 2hr before you can even really touch it and wet sand it but I waited a good 24hrs and the result is even better. There is still a little smell of the primer but only if you put your nose up to it so maybe i will wait for another few hours. I notice that the white primer does not cover well over the putty on first try but it goes the same with any white primer I think unless is grey. After I wet sand the white primer to get rid of the orange peel to my surprise it feels like smooth flat paint. I think is pretty good. Anyways getting back to the primer and real paint. I tested a large piece of styrene I had and used the primer and paint and it works very well. I will stick with this white primer instead of the tamiya primer. We all know that tamiya is a great company but they over charge us modelers on their paints supplies and brushes etc. at 5.99 canadian for the kyron and you get a large spray can of primer it is by far much better then paying 9 bucks for a small primer. The white primer that I used is call Krylon: Home decoor durable primer. On the back it says works on wood, wicker, metal and most plastic. ( I asked why most plastic and the guy said that some plastic are rigid and does not bend or move while some will be moved a lot and bend a lot so the primer may no stick well to the one that moves around a lot since it may cause crack. I figure I am not going to ben dmy models so I will give it a try) So I hope you guys find this stuff since I just went to canadian tires to pick up like 5 bottles at a sale price of 3.99. will post pick later on the model and the pic of the primer I used.

Depending on the type of primer you use you should be able to paint with in 24 hours at most, I use Krylon primer and it dries within the hour.

really? this one dries very very thin.
there are a few krylon primers but i use the one i suggested and it dries really thin. Maybe you sprayed on it a little thick. Anyways is still pretty good and is cheaper than the tamiya. Otherwise i use automotive grey primer for my dark colors
