I've had generally the same results with the SW primer. The thing is: I
really LIKE the primer. It's hard as nails. I've gone through 3/4 of a
gallon of the stuff and I'm still experimenting with it; and I spent a lot
of time last summer on various HVLP sites to get a good handle on how to use
these things. By the time I did the flap components last fall, they were
better. The problem seemed to be that the product wasn't atomizing enough.
So I turned down the fluid just a bit and turned up the pressure (I think
that's what I did). If you patrol the net for HVLP spray techniques, you'll
probably find a step-by-step to how to set the gun properly. Because the
instructions from Craftsman (maker of the HVLP gun) were crappy.
Also, I made the first pass a "fog coat," rather than try to, you know,
paint the piece. So a little more patience another solution (something I'm
not very good at. I should point out that I tried some of that water based
primer (the name of which I can't remember), and I didn't like the way that
went on either. So that's what sent me to "HVLP school." I figured it was
the painter, not the paint.
What I really go for with SW is a tint more than anything else.

There are lots of good primers. Find one that is compatible with the top
coat paint product you want to use. Then learn how to prep, mix and shoot
it.
One primer that works with PPG Concept is DP. DP can be thinned with their
thinner product. Sprays on and covers better using some thinner. The only
thing you might not like is it takes time to dry. But it is tough as just
about anything. Requires the metal to be properly prepared before hand.
For light colored top coats use DP48 as the number indicates the color.
DP40 is an olive drab type color. There are others. Check at your local
auto paint distributor.
