I don't know if this is what he meant, but I have seen quality body finishers
spray a light coat of black over the primer. Then when sanding out the body,
they can see where any imperfections or low spots are..... However, in this
method, almost all of the black would be gone before the finish coat(s) went
on.... So I don't know how you would know.....unless the method of prep was
in the car's documentation somewhere.

As I am ignorant in the ways of painting, does the statement
below mean the primer was black or that a black undercoat was
applied over the primer before the finish coat(s)?
Is the fact that it is black significant and why would that result
in a better finish?
