Just watched Luke’s video. I spent a little time working in a car body shop in the nineties and I agree with pretty much everything he says. The one thing I disagree with is that there’s no difference between the various primers, however. GW’s Chaos Black, for example, always used to be very glossy and the last thing you want in a primer is a gloss finish. (I’ve no idea if it still is, having not used it in over twenty years).

It’s possible the GW issue was a result of them marketing one of their existing paints as a primer, at the time.
