With some paint lines, you can add colour to the primer, getting a colour similar to the paint can help.
In most paint lines, the standard is to have black or white primer and then mix them to the same value as the colour. Most of the paint lines will let you know when mixing what value (shade of grey) to mix the primer.
Another option, is to mix some basecoat a red (that will hide the primer) and then spray your colour over top (sort of like spraying a tri-stage or candy colour).
I was also going to question what you did to match the colour…did you look at any different variants?

That was going to be my question – are you sure it’s the primer that’s causing the problem. It might just be that the colour itself isn’t right.
I use Debeer and they have 4 major shade variations, and a couple of field formulas, so Tornado Red isn’t always Tornado Red if you get my drift.
light pink or white.
I’ve got even appearance in one coat.
