Colored Primer

Will most paint stores tint the primer and if so I heard thru the grape that Red tinted primer is a arm and a leg? Any truth to this?? Need a gallon before Reso so I figured I would ask.

what color red? red oxide is fairly inexpensive but if you want fire engine red that might get pricy about 100-150 a gallon, maybe

yeah the fire engine red...thanks I'll look into it

just get some base and spray it with no clear. we put a sealer under mine before the base

The PPG DP74 is a red oxide sealer. You might also want to look at the hot rod flatz colors at www.kustomshop.com.

Check this site out.Hot Rod FlatzIts flat paint, at about the cost of primer for a 'Gallon Kit' with all the reducers you need. Its flat single stage paint, and you can sand it and paint or prime over it. With some tinted primers, I've heard they have to be sanded entirely off.

They have like 3 different reds. Some nice colors. They even have a flat metallic red.

Thanks for all the info! You going to reso Seth?

My whole truck is in red primer. Cost 130 from sherwin williams...P30R

oh you could spray it with a red base and put a flattening agent in the clear and shoot it so the base dosent fade and get all f'ed up
