I was think about spray my nissan fairlady z Version nismo with pearl white and I would use light grey primer for last coat. Do you think this will look good?

Re: body color

Why don't you just use white primer? Or if you use the grey primer, and a white base color...shouldn't be bad.

Re: body color

I think what you are saying is you will use gray primer on the body, then cover it with pearl white? I would say use gray primer as the base coat, followed by WHITE primer, then you can spray the pearl white over it. Spraying white top coat over grey primer will distort the top coat color.

First primer, then paint.

Yes this is the right way.
Primer is applied to prepare for paint.

Clear coat.

I strongly suggest you read the questions in the FAQ (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ad.php?t=63623).

There's a great deal of info there which will hopefully help you get off to a healthy start

Any paint can be made smooth with sanding and polishing. Like freakray said, check out the FAQ's.
