I think black.You want a dark blue look,so the white don't really good for it.I use black basecoat on these 2 modell's they are just guine pigs :D they were basecoated with brush! :devil:

Id definitely say go black since you are wanting a bit of a rich dark blue color.

 

If you think you can also pull it off, you can also use the black primer for black lining and just paint the armor plates in blue and leave in the recesses a bit of black :devil:

ALWAYS UNDERCOAT IN BLACK.

 

Unless, that is, you are doing a white army :devil:

Grey. If you're in the UK, Halfords' grey primer ain't bad.

I always painted my CF's over white primer.

I almost never use black primer. If I'm using bright colors like yellow, red, orange, or red-violet (for my LEC), I use a white primer to keep the colors bright. Otherwise I use a medium grey primer. The only time I use black primer is when I'm painting a primarily black figure.
