I would use a gray primer. Most painters use a primer or sealer similar in color to the exterior. For example, you wouldn't want to use black primer if you're painting a car white.
What brand of paint are you using? Base/clear, or single stage? If you're not sure how well the paint covers, it's always wise to do a spray out test panel before painting the exterior of the car.

The '69 I'm building now is going Sublime. I discovered that Omni single stage required numerous coats, at least 5, to cover. The PPG basecoat only required 2-3. Both were over the same gray primer.

Sikkens makes a Colorbuild Primer or sealer which comes in about any color you want. I had a Plum Crazy Purple car to do & mixed some Red colorbuild with Blue for my own Purple primer & sealer. Dupont has what they call Value Shade, just different gray primers/sealers you can mix for proper coverage. LEON.
