Yep . . PPG's Dp-48 epoxy primer works great. Thin it out a bit with a fast DT reducer (or lacquer thinner).

Ques? Will it show through the color coat?
My primer is tinted slightly more pink on the front 1/3rd of the side of my boat.
I went with a white primer and tinted for a fire engine top finish color, I went with a white primer vs. a dark grey because I heard white pops reds and yellows brighter.
Is that true? did I stump you guys, anybody know??

sorry . . been away racing all weekend 
for red and yellow top coats use only white primer as a base and no further tint is necessary. covers great. also its a good idea to have a uniform base so yes it is slightly possible that you could have a color differance if you have a variation. you should be ok if it is just a pink shade though but i would be careful. If it was me i would just throw down a few coats of white base prior to the red.

Hope you had fun, thanks for the response.
Here is where I'm at. I have primed & blocked (broke through) so I primed & blocked again. Now I need to spot prime a couple of spots where I broke through.
My question is can I prime again with white and shoot color over the tacky primer or do I have to let it dry, scuff before I can shoot color?

I would rarely sand the primer , used dp40 and a ppg system. Only if I had imperfections I could see. Mostly just shot my color over the unsanded dp40. Used a lot of radience ppg back in the day , metallic base with color tinted clear and then clear again. Glad I don't do it now!!!
Ask dave to be sure.
