Does it make a difference?

Is there a difference between different color primers?

I like white the best. The reason is it gives a neutral base to spray the color on. If I can't get it, I'll use grey. The only use for black that I can see is if you were going to spray black over it.

The tonal variations that Les mentions are probably the biggest concern you have.

That being said, though, there can be difference depending on which brand of primer you refer to. The Krylon spray can primers, for instance, are different. The black and ruddy brown primers are meant to be sanded. The dark gray is not. You can still sand the dark gray stuff, but it's not as easy and will clog up the sandpaper much quicker.

I use Testors White Primer and have found it very good.

I use Gunze's Mr.Base White 1000 with paintbrush or airbrush, and happy with it.
