Black primered trucks, look good, pictures?

[purebred]

Just wondering what all you guys use for black primer? I am really starting to like the look of black primer and being able to touch it up when you wan't even makes it better. I see alot of primers for sale, which is the best for the buck? thanks

im no paint expert but you would prolly want a satin black paint because primer with turn kinda grey/ashy looking over time..

Why not just use a paint like SEM Hot Rod Black.
This way you have a black primer look and still have the protection of a regular paint and not a primer.

http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/...IT-HRF201-M-GL $149... Primer is not a good sealer and the metal will rust under it and then you have a big mess to clean up later.. This is a gallon kit. I dont know how good this stuff is but maybe someone here has used it and can share more info...

Here are some earlier threads with quite a bit of input on the topic:

Use SPI's black epoxy primer. It's waterproof and has UV inhibitors so it won't chalk up over time. Yes folks, you can use it as a top coat.

As some of you know from the other threads, I have been playing with the UV protection with our epoxy, even though our epoxy (black) has showed us around 5 years life when exposed to the sun where most epoxies die inside of 3 - 6 months, we are making it better!
The black and black only at this point that we made this week has extra UV protection, we still have around 100 gallons of the old batch but that should be gone by middle of next week and we will ship the new. (Quarts will not have for about two months)
I used 1/2 the amount of UV I wanted to but as we go along I will increase, at this point it should last as long as any mid grade SS paint.
You will notice no difference in spraying or drying or handling the epoxy with this addition as I have tested and retested but reason I cut it in half is just to make sure the epoxy is still bullet proof.
I have no plans to add it to the other colors as they are never exposed as an topside paint but our black epoxy has been used as hood stripes on cudas and rat rods so the protection was warranted.

The link is above ( tcglobal) I have been messing with that stuff since it came out. Easy to use and quality has been as good as the over priced stuff. Plus I have yet to have a mis match on % of gloss from panel to panel, even painting some stuff a year later. you cannot tell I did not shoot it at the same time

it is good to know someone had been using it. I was always wondering about that stuff.

Funny I was using it to paint for low dollar budget build bobbers. And what we found was that it was way better than the high dollar dual stage paints. LOL.. I painted a test panel that I left outside through the az sun .. 3 years later it still looks like I just sprayed it.

Myself have been very impressed. but not having a tv show or tons of adds in magazines, my vote does not count.. HA HA
