Does the colour of primer matter?

[Rkive]

I am going to be spray painting my front lip, side skirts and hopefully a tech 1 spoiler soon, and I was wondering if it matters what colour primer I use?

I have grey plastic primer and am going to be spraying it atlantis blue, will this be ok?

i have just colour coded my door handles and number plate surround, and i used grey primer first and the results are spot on

Cheers mate, sound.

just take your time plenty of thin coats somewhere clean and dust free.

red, for example, needs a white primer, darker colours will use a dark primer. hth

So would grey be ok for dark blue yeah?

[tomtomiS]

i would assume so unless its got white or silver pearlescent tinters in it

primer coulor doesnt realy matter lighter colours would just take longer to cover on darker primers so it would need more paint to cover the primer but sum coulors do cover better on dark colours like silvers cover good over blacks
