I always prime my kits, and I'm a big fan of the Tamiya gray primer. However, it is expensive, and unfortunately, the only LHS that carried it has shuttered.

Pep Boys and other automotive places carry small cans of automotive primers that seem to work just as well. Not as fine, but a heck of a lot cheaper.Stay away from the el cheapo stuff in the big cans, some of those are real garbage. Test beforehand!
