Hi All,

Greetings to you as well.

This is a problem right away.  You're asking for a formulation, a mixture.  We try to help students with chemical reactions, either simple or advanced, but you want to manufacture a complex product.  That's not just chemistry, or even chemical engineering, but instead diverse topics, like a recipe for a complex dish.  The topic isn't quantitative enough for use to help.

Do you mean the generic concept of a paint primer, or do you mean some commercial product called Primer by brand name?  Of course, we could never help you replicate a commercial product exactly, if we could, that would (almost but not absolutely) be like stealing so you can't just ask for it. 

If you want a generic primer paint, you don't seem to know what is is -- primer is an undercoat paint.  Its formulated with superior binding and covering characteristics, to whatever substrate you have, lets say wood or metal -- they are different, you can't use one for the other.  Primer also has superior binding to other paints, primer forms a "thirsty" surface for the next layers of paint.  Primer usually comes in very basic colors -- often just white, brown or red --  because you're not supposed to see it, you're supposed to cover it with other paint.  And primer doesn't have good wear characteristics, the primers I've used have a "fluffy" texture, you absolutely have to cover them with other paint.  And primers aren't just for exterior, you need them for interior pints jobs too, and of course, interior primer can't be used for exterior.  And it wouldn't surprise me if exterior paints in India are formulated differently than paints used in the US, or Northern Europe, given the differences in climate.

You're welcome, but you have much, much more work to do before you can start whipping up a batch.  You might want to talk to local professionals, and see what they know about these topics.  The people of India have been painting things, for example, vast stone temple sculptures, since back when  Europeans were only painting their bodies to go to war.  Traditional cultural ideas may be a useful start for you.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
