<DIV>If you have a "colors" paint supply store in your area you can pick up a
spray can of very good primer. It comes in several colors, including white. A
little on the expensive side at $18 a can, but it is great. I have used it on
the last 4 pattern ships I have painted, and have used it on the 2 I am working
on now! Great stuff. fills well. sands out great, and Concept paints adhere
fine!</DIV>

<DIV>Oh yes. I was hopeful that you'd found a non catalyzed white when
you said single stage, but now I get it. With the hardeners and mix ratios I
can not really mix up less than about 1 oz, which is a lot of waste when you
are spot priming. I found a non-fuel proof gray primer, but that's far
from ideal. </DIV>
