Grelko Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Noobish question... The van is white, after sanding etc. and getting all the patchwork finished I was going to get it painted black. Since it's starting out white, should I use grey primer first to help darken it a bit before hitting it with the black primer or, is it ok to just go with the black primer right over white primer/paint and not have it show through? Seeing if I can save a couple bucks on a budget.

310_cutty Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I thing If the final color (paint) is gonna be black you should go with black primer. It will cover faster and in case you get a rock chip or a deep scratch You shouldn't notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grelko Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks, I'll just use the black primer since it'll take alot of to cover tha van in the first place. If any white does end up showing through, I'd put down another layer over that area better.
