color of the primer
This may be a dumb Question but does the color of the primer affect the final color of the paint?
If not why are there different color primers?

It absolutely does affect the color of the final paint, especially for lighter, brighter solid colors, yellow is the worst. Black and metallics are less affected.

I always use dead white sealer under my solid color paint jobs that are on the medium to light side. Seems to give it little extra brightness.

Just have the paint store tint your sealer the color you are going to paint.

Prep
Additional note. I like to use different color primers when doing the body work. Shoot white then gray. When sanding if the white starts to come through I know I have a high spot. If the white causes a circle it is a low spot. But I do shoot the whole car with white just before the final color. White undercoats seem to bounce the light back to the surface.

Having the paint store tint the primer the color of your base is the ticket.

Remember the color of the primer will not effect the color of the paint. It's the color of the sealer that can make a difference..
