tinting primer

can you buy a white primer and tint it with a blue? How would you go about doing this? i am doing alot of my bodywork on my truck right now and just have some grey, but I want a little color befor I get ready for real paint.

somoene told me to get some white primer and add some regular paint to it to get the color I was looking for. Is this true. I kind of want a baby blue, so i was figuring getting the white and just add some regular blue to it, to make it like a baby blue.

yea just buy'n sum white and put'n a lil blue base in it will work. or u could just buy u some sherwin willams specrta prime it comes in baby blue and many other colors. thats the stuff i used to paint my truck and i love the stuff.

i think we have a sherwin williams store here in town. i will look into that..
how much does it run?

ppg sells an expoxy sealer that is already tinted blue....minus the stains lol.

yeah ppg makes some its good stuff carefull when spraying it though

yea sherwin willams makes it but hell its cheaper 2 make ur own wth regular primer!! mine we took urathane primer and mixed blue wth it till till we like it!! got a gallon wth hardener and every thing 4 life 80 bucks and the sw stuff wuz like 130

The sherwin williams P30L is the blue. It is like a 130 but you will not have any problems with it. Blocks out real nice.
