Sure, virtually all primer is tintable (but they don't use paint to do
it as the other poster suggested).


But, it's also getting much harder to even find pure primer; most paints
now are combination primer/paint so depending on what you're thinking of
using mayhaps the step to cut out is the primer itself.

I don't know where you shop, but you can buy "pure primer" just about
anywhere paint is sold. I would certainly not characterize it as "getting
harder to find".

Heck, even Home Depot has pages of "pure primer" products.
