Advice on priming resin kits please?

Yes I have checked the FAQ and done a search, but I have a question I don't think has been answered.

I'm about to attempt my first resin 1/43rd kit. When painting my plastic kits I use Halfords (automotive) Plastic Primer. Is this the correct primer to use on resin or do I need to use the regular primer (suitable for metal parts)?

I know there are some GREAT resin kit builders on this forum and also some manufacturers. Please help?

Regular automotive primer can be used on resin kits. The Halford's should be fine
