I hope this is only an issue of  down under terminology but I think there is need for clarification of primer types. In the US, etching primers are primarily used as the first coat over bare metal in automotive painting. It prevents corrosion from appearing through the subsequent paint layers. I would not use it on a plastic surface but rather a straight primer covered with your final top paint layer. Primer-surfacers are to be used only when there is a need to cover some flaws/irregular issues in the surface. Otherwise, the heavy body to this primer will cover alot of the small details. Hope this helps, Lee in Tucson.
