Any advice?

If you are trying to do white paint over any other color, priming is your savior. Depending on how crazy you want to get with it will depend on what priming technique you want to do. I have yet to try this one but Action Figure Toronto has a really awesome priming technique in his tutorials section. Granted it's much more advanced than just using a spray can of primer but it might help give you ideas.
