Why not just go to a paint store and pick one out? I've looked and haven't found anything (In my resources) that is battleship gray.

the actual "battleship grey" as its referred to is like an epoxy sealer or whatever, not paint, just something strong to protect the metal, its not fancy like paint.

no i still havent heard anyone call epoxy primer by any names except for washprimer. they dont need names it complicates things.

and they usually have a low eggshell sheen to it.. but i wouldnt say its anywhere near glossy.

Jesus, this thread is full of retarded.

You can get paint in ANY color. You can make it look like any shade/shine of grey that has ever existed.

These cars that he's drooling over are not just covered in primer.

Clearing over primer is not the answer to this either, that is not how its intended to be used.



Do some searching man, and actually go to a paint shop and talk to someone.
