I use the basic Testors spray on primer. I take the figures and hit them with a light coat of primer, just enough to cover the surface. I find it makes for better paint coverage. I always prime anything I am going to paint, be it figures, models, etc...
I am using this method on my Clemson squad and painting them with Apple Barrel and Folk Art acrylics on Reggie's figures and 67 Big Men and I get superb flow and coverage. Some colors do require a second coat, but that is not unusual with these paints as has been my experience.
Shake your paints well before use, as mentioned water can be used to thin thick lumpy paint and do not goop it on. You can use another coat if needed.
