Two out of three but you get to choose which two, when you buy some.

I think you need lacquer/cellulose thinner to clean your brushes though. I’m tempted to give this a try at some point.
As I just need to get some priming done reliably this week I’ll probably go with the humbrol black for now

Let us know how you get on with it. It's curiously interesting, or interestingly curious. I'd like to know how chip resistant it is.

TWICE. Twice ever.
Or at least: Twice ever, so far.

I'd say as long as you keep it away from the salt and vinegar, and the grease obviously, it should be ok.

Only if they're fully painted varnished & based though.

As Oscar Wilde almost said " to so so once is undortunate, to do so twice makes it a case series."

Inspired by this debate, I tried a Vallejo brush-on primer I've had laying around. Complete crap, at least on metal figures. Had to Dullcoat after a bit of painting and then continue over that. I've otherwise been using a light grey "art" spray primer intended for graffiti artists to prep their surfaces. Very fine pigment in the medium/vehicle, whatever it's called, meaning good coverage with a thin coat, and excellent durability.
