It occurred to me recently that it would make more sense, particularly with a very deep green like the GWR pre-1928, to use a red oxide primer on the basis it would give better depth of colour.
Any thoughts anyone?

Id do a trial - find a strip of brass, mask half, spray with grey primer and let it dry, then mask the grey bit and spray the other half with the red, let that dry then spray both sides with the green and see which one comes out better.
