yes.
becareful if you are spray painting onto the pink or blue sheet styrofoam as the propelant in the spray paint eats it. either give that a light coat of a brush on primer or watered down pva first then to to town on it.
also if you are using it to prime your models you'll want to make sure you get a flat paint as gloss is hard to paint over.

If you're priming in black, use the Krylon Camoflage Flat Black at the MCX, that stuff is awesome and goes on better than GW Chaos Black Primer. I don't base in white so can't help you there, but I do have a couple old cans of GW White Primer.

the old gw primer isnt worth it. the newer formula they are using is really good but kinda cost prohibative for you guys over there.
krylon is a good brand to go with. most flat sprays will work just remember light/thin coats with the paint. just like applying your normal models if you do it too thick it looks like crap.

You can't even get it shipped out here. The last place I saw with it was Yellow Submarine in Hiroshima, but they stopped selling GW products about 2 years ago, so no luck there. For the price Krylon is the way to go. Grip said it right that you want to do thin layers.
Basically you want to spray from about 18 inches away from the models in short bursts. This keeps any one part of the model from getting too much paint on it.

Yes but import prices and no audience to cater to had them nix the idea and they went back to selling just cards and other questionable Japanese hobby items.

I'm fine paying $3.50 for a can over $15.00. I know it may be better, but I'd rather save the money for models!

The stuff at the MXC is rather easy to use as well. the coating advice is essential so don't ruin your models by skipping and cutting corners. At 3.50 a can the price Is pretty competitive...
