+1.
Tamiya Primer is great, dries quickly, but is pretty expensive.
And comes in tiny 180ml bottles. It also goes on fairly light, which is great for promoting adhesion, but not ideal if you are trying to fill in and smooth surface imperfections.

The key is finding "Industrial Tough Coat" version of the Krylon primer, not the regular retail-store (crap) variety.
If you want to try a single bottle for starters, those can be ordered from here:
