So for a rattlecan white top color, what color primer do you use? white primer or gray primer? And is there such a thing as a black primer?
Yes, PPG makes their DP (2 part epoxy)primer in BLACK, as well as white, lt. grey, green grey and red(which is kind of brick red)
For a white top color, use white primer and you will get the best coverage and "holidays" won't matter nearly as much.
Have fun & good luck! More Q's?, e me again (and again and again until you're satisfied you have all the info you need) Always glad to help.
