Default What color primer

I have a 2010 Lexus es 350 that is matador red. It's a three stage paint. I'm just having trouble figuring out what color of primer the factory uses cause I have to repaint the hood and bumper. Should I use the gray or black primer?

So, I think I’m hearing that, “yes” the factory paint is fragile, and maybe best defense against stone damage may be application of quality ceramic coating, for those who dint want to apply a “bra”, is that right?
