Numbers roughly correspond to grits of sandpaper, the lower the number the deeper the scratches it can fill. However lower numbers can also fill in surface details so they need to be used carefully. Surfacer 500 is not meant to be sprayed.
Metal primer is clear.
Mr Base is basically a very high pigment density white paint, you'd want to use Surfacer 1500 White instead in most cases to preserve surface detail.
