Try this, I have done it with paint.  I don't see why it wouldn't work with
primer.

Go to a hobby shop or Wal-Mart.  They have a refillable paint spray setup.
It's meant for model cars, but will work equally well on small parts.  It's
a small bottle with a screw-on lid.  A disposable propellant can attaches
to it.  It then works just like a spray can, but only with the paint of
your choice.  About $10 for the whole setup.  The disposable propelant
costs about $3 per.

Works like a charm.
