Is anyone having trouble finding white Tamiya primer?

[BOOSTD]

I have looked in almost all my local hobby shops for white Tamiya primer and I cant get it anywhere. The only white primer I can get is Model Masters and it is really runny. Does anyone know why the white Tamiya primer is so hard to get? I have no problems getting the grey. By the way I am in Perth, Western Australia.

Thats because its not Labeled as "White Primer"
Tamiya's Bast choice for white primer would be TS-27 "Matt White"
I have never known anybody having difficulty getting it.

What on earth are you on about?
I have 2 cans of Tamiya 'White Primer' and the are, ironically, labelled 'White Primer'.
Matt white is an 'in-a-fix' substitute for white primer, but it is not primer, it is still paint.
I get my hobby shop to order white primer in special for me, since they don't sell a lot of Tamiya primer they only get it in when I request them to, I buy 2 to 4 cans at a time.

my last thread that i started is about tamiya white primer. I discover an alternative choice which is much better then tamiya white primer and much cheaper. Is kyrlon white primer that you could find in hardware stores or even art stores. much larger then tamiya and cheaper too.

I tried Krylon and wasn't satisfied with the results, I think it is all personal choice and preference.

You could try www.hlj.com or you could try contacting some of the Australian members here like Jonno or RallyRaider whi may be able to tell you somewhere in Australia where you can order it.
Maybe if you take the Tamiya item code into a hobby shop that carries Tamiya paint they will order you some?
