I have a bunch of army painter paints and they word great for me. I use them for detailing and Tamiya for bigger projects. I don't clear coat more then I do but when I do I either use floor wax if I want a slight shine to something or Tamiya flat clear when I don't want a shine.
sometimes I will use other brands of paints when I need a certain color. I don't like mixing my own paint, its a pain.
I don't prime figures, I will vehicles (with primer paint). on figures I give them a good dry brushing in a white wash. this gives me an even base to work from since substrate colors will tint your base coat. so, if your building a figure and his parts are 4 different colors and you got to paint him green that green could come out slightly different on each color you go over. you could just keep putting coats of paint on till you get the color you want but then you will have waaay to much paint on him and it will look like it.
