Stuart - I've been using the X-O Primer because it has a satin sheen to it when dry.  It is also a little darker brown and less "red" than most red oxide primers.  Kind of hard to find though.  You have to find a Tru Value hardware store or buy it on line through Amazon or ???

I haven't been able to find a rattle can that produces the correct sheen  (always an incorrect flat :( so I used the same red oxide product (epoxy base - then tint it to the color) I use on the underside of the car. Believe that epoxy base is what was originally used.

With that being said give Jim's product a try ;)
