I generally use Floquil model railroad gray primer applied with a brush for metal and resin figures. For female figures I seem to be moving to fine white primers from a spray can or airbrush) the can is more convenient). For degreasing I use dishsoap and warm water. If there's a lot of grease (rare), I use Simple Green or Purple Power (I keep it in the garage for use on the MGs).

I Use Both spray can and brush , on a larger flat  Carrs Acidip to start with, than Gw white in a spray can,
on a smaller flat Humbrol white all the way, better control and you dont clog details if you put on several thin coats, BTW carrs  Acidip is not an acid :) its a really great degreaser for white metal or resin, you can find from model railway suppliers, and it does what the distilled vinegar does  a lot quicker!  hope that helps.....  Gerry.

Hi All

Just curious: what kind of undercoating (primer) you use?
