badger paints--primer?

I recently bought some Badger paints for a project, after my usual trick of thinning Folk-Art acrylics left me with rather unfortunate results. Besides the color on the paint chip being worlds apart from what came out of the bottle (grumble, snort!!), I found them to be very easy to use both through the airbrush and by brush. In fact, I had brush-painted an entire side of a car with the Badger paints with very good results when I decided that it was far more tedious than using the airbrush. Alas, after dealing with clogged tips through that process, I'm not sure my reasoning was quite sound. Of course, had I actually thoroughly cleaned my airbrush after the Folk-Art fiasco, I probably would not have had near as much trouble. But when you use a tool once every three or four years, you're allowed something of a learning curve each time, right?

Later,
