I used a grey primer (cause that's what I had) and normal Duplicolor clear coat on the area I used the Director Red. White primer would definately be too light, black would probably be too dark. I imagine a dark grey would probably match best if you can find it. The pic in my locker (bad quality) is actually using a different color without any primer, it was supposed to be temporary but I just kinda left it (that was over a year ago). Director Red (266) is an even closer color match than the color I used on the grill, and most people think my grill is stock (a paint chip from a rock gives it away). When I have time, I'm going to sand the grill, prime it, and paint it with the Director Red. I don't remember if I mentioned it in the other thread, but Director Red is actually in Duplicolor's Truck line of paints, not Auto/Import. And when using Duplicolor paint, when you clearcoat, make sure the humidity is below 50%, or the clear coat will develop a whitish haze.
