The color of gel is less of an issue than primer color. A Grey or red oxide primer is selected to reduce how bad a chip shows up after painted and to help with paint coverage. gels are purchased in the color and not tinted per application but a darker color tint could be added if a customer really wanted it. We choose the Grey for several reasons= most compatible with glide coat colors, easy to cover, shows well or does not make little imperfections stick out like a sore thumb like gloss black would, if chipped after paint hot pink might show through just a little, most available and less expensive for that reason and easy to blend if damaged in shop.
