This is actually the second attempt. First we shot it in base and killed the clear. It was really dull, almost a black grey but looked good. The only problem was that it took a while to dry and we found finger prints (could have been our fault with the mixture). Instead of playing around we sanded and shot with one step and it came out well. I'll have to ask the painter on the products but almost any paint supplier will give you the right recipe. It's stood up well over time, a quick wash and you're good to go. I shot the gloss black flames to see how it looked, they are subtle depending on the light. With those I cheated and bought a stencil that has adhesive. Stick it on, pull off the flame, shot and remove the stencil. They offered any size and lots of different designs. Hope that helps.

f-4x4,
The technique you are referencing actually has an unofficial classification in the Hot Rod world called "Rat Rod", or primered street rod.
The popularity of this classification has boosted sales of PPG's product line of their epoxy primer/sealer called "DP". This product will net you the results you desire. It is available in many colors. Here is the line-up:
DP 40 (light gray)
DP 48 (white)
DP 50 (gray)

To answer your question, they are primers. But a more precisely, they are epoxy primer sealers.
