My tatty old garage door needs a make over. What primer do I need to go over old faded paint after it has had a good wash and a rub down with a scotchpad?

The top coat will be this gloss finish, if that is relevant

Ah bu99er you're right. The wife wanted a teal front door so now I need to find a matching exterior paint for the garage.

IIRC, you get an All Coat tinted as a colour match.

So, a follow up. I used Zinsser bulls eye 123 primer (grey) to undercoat it, and then a Zinsser AllCoat (Water Based) Exterior Gloss Paint from www.nextdaypaint.co.uk in the closest match to our front door (Peacock blue). Both tins were 1L and I used about 2/3rds of each to apply 2 coats with brush and foam roller..

Quite pleased with the result
