What is the best primer to use if you plan to finish with base coat clear coat? Does any standard gray primer work that can be used with enamel paint?

Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Scott

Hello, I use PPG DP-40 Epoxy primer. This stuff is tough as nails and you can put anything over it given its a true epoxy. I have used this on cars, motorcycles, tractors, etc.. I have never had troubles with it. My 2cts Good Luck!

Many people say to use a primer from the same paint system/line as your finish paints.
