How long does this primer take to dry? Thanks.

This primer dries in about the same time as an average layer of acrylic paint. After brushing it on a miniature, most areas are dry to the touch within 5-10 minutes. I usually prime models one day, and start painting them the next day after allowing roughly 24 hours for the primer to fully cure.

Does this need to be watered down to be used with an airbrush? It doesn't say it's air primer.

It really depends on your airbrush, my Badger hates this primer without around a 50/50 mix with distilled water (random splatters and tip gets clogged within a minute when used straight).

How much do you need to thin the primer if you are just brushing it on (not using an aor brush).

This primer will flake off (tiny flakes) when brushed on metal reaper figures or plastic models. It looks great because details show through, but will require touch up before painting. Let it dry at least a few days.

Can i add this to a whit primer to get a grey primer?

I added it to Vallejo White to get a good grey and it worked fine.
