Is this really green? Cap looks gray. I want to use this under some orange paint, will the colors blend?

I also am about to use an orange base coat... Did this blend well with your orange?

I have an aluminum truck tool box that has a urethane clear coating, can I scuff up the box, clean it and use this before applying a bedliner coating

If the clear is intact and not peeling I wouldn’t etch... etch primer only adheres properly to bare metal... if using a quality two component bed liner I might spot prime lightly then bedline

Is a water based or oil based primer best for hi top conversion van with fiberglass roof?

This is for mostly metal. Use the Rustoleum Primer in the “Professional spray can”.
