Should I azzume that you are using black primer because it shows imperfections better than the typical gray stuff?

Yes

And when shooting a light color over black primer, do you put lighter primer on to help coverage?

The top coat color determines the final epoxy sealer color. Red, yellow, orange or white I would use white epoxy, blue, green, maroon and other light colors gray.

I have been using SPI products in my shop since 2005 when I used their clear on my race car. The only thing I get somewhere else is the base colors. If you have a question they have a tech line and you are talking to Barry the owner of the company it's his cell phone.

Thanks, Rusty. I'm adding a vent in the ceiling and fan in the "attic" of the garage to make an updraft situation. Maybe get my first car shot by the end of the year.

The Garage i have at my house is my grandfathers old cow barn
I left the ventilation tunnel,its like a chimney or how i should describe it
And i put a electric fan from a car at the end of it so when i paint i just start
the fan it does a decent job keeping the paint mist out if i open a window slightly
