For the best color hold out, and pop. Have the primer tinted with the color.

Great Advice Right There! 8)  Another reason to using a Matching Tinted Primer, is that any minor chips in the finish will be less noticable since you won't see a different color showing through...  Most New Car Manufacturers will use a color matching Primer for that very reason....
