Default SPI epoxy primer

Is the gray SPI epoxy primer a light gray or dark gray?

Assume you can mix the black with the white or gray epoxy to get the desired shade?

Thanks,
Joe

The SPI Epoxy I used was a dark Charcoal/Black color, until you sanded it...then it became lighter, which made blocking easier. They offered Black, Grey, or White. I wondered if anyone had ever Cleared directly over it...that might make a nice Charcoal or Graphite like color.

Actually SPI has a car on the cover of its brochure that was done just that way.
