What would cause a 39A to not fire I have a gun that will at times not fire when I pull the trigger. There will be a small indent on the primer. Is the pin not hitting the primer hard enough?

Common problem. Firing pin is worn, therefore not as long as it should be to properly concuss primer. Just replace pin.

If you are referring to how many pounds is the trigger pull weight for a rifle that fires the 5.56 NATO round, that will depend on the rifle. Some may have a "benchrest" target trigger pull of 2.5 lbs, which is too light to safely use for most NON benchrest shooting. Others may have a 6 lb pull. There is no one standard. If you mean how much force on the primer to fire a cartridge- only enough to dimple the outer cover of the primer, and pinch the priming compound against the anvil. A few pounds, concentrated on a very small spot.

What color primer should you use with valspar mediterranean seaside blue?
Since it is an oceanic blue color, I'd suggest that you use a primer that is tinted to at least 3/4 of the top coat. This should give enough coverage over the old color to allow you to recoat with only one additional coat. If the primer is not available in that dark of a color, then a gray primer will suffice.
