I need some definite answer, after searching around the web for a while and finding a lot of conflicting information.
Can you achieve satisfying results when you spray caliban green directly onto a model that is not primed?
Some people claim it works like a charm, others say that you absolutely need to prime or it won't stick.
Yet another dude claimed that the colored citadel sprays contain the same adhesive that the primers do, and that this was confirmed on reddit in some AMA, which i couldn't find any sources for.
I did some testing by spraying it onto some old sprue i had, and while it seems to stick well if you handle it without force, it does scratch off a lot easier than on my old tac marines, who have been primed before spraying them green. I painted a small amount of a few base colors on top to test it, and they also seem to hold well. But i'm still undecided. Looking for some long term experience here.

I also seem to remember Duncan saying that he sprayed a model with nothing but green in some Video, but can't remember which one

Citadel colored spray are not primer, but they do the trick well enough on plastic models. Partciularly if you seal them with a clearcoat. You will get a more durable finish by spraying a true primer first though. And basically any paintjob will scratch unless it has a thick gloss clearcoat. What you're really looking for is to have it not rub off during handling at all.

Yeah, why wouldn't you? Just mind humidity

Will chemicals from that spray turn you gay?

Find the army painter equivalent and then use the normal Caliban green paint over it to get any bits you missed and to get a uniform colour. Shake the can well though, for 2 minutes at least.

Not at all if the model is metal.
It's alright if the model is plastic.
