Abrasion Resistant - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

What primer can I use on top of paint?

Accepted Answer

The right primer to use on top of paint depends on a few factors. Select a bonding primer for previously painted cabinets, trim, or furniture, and a latex or water-based primer on walls with flat or matte paint. For specialty projects, you can use an oil-based primer when switching from oil-based to latex paint, or a stain-blocking primer if the old paint has stains, smoke damage, or strong colors you need to cover.

Question 2

What kind of paint should I use for my ceiling?

Accepted Answer

The best paint for ceilings is usually white or another light shade with a flat or matte finish designed to hide flaws and reduce glare. Select a ceiling-specific paint formulated to drip less and cover well in one coat. For a more durable finish, you can use a satin or semi-gloss paint, especially for ceilings prone to moisture or stains. Find the right paint for your ceiling in our DIY guide on how to paint a ceiling.

Question 3

Which abrasion resistant primers are the top rated?

Accepted Answer

The Textured 1 gal. Charcoal Gray Interior Exterior Bonding Primer Penetrating Anti-Slip is one of our top-rated abrasion resistant primers. There's no better choice when you need to get the job done right.

Question 4

What color should my primer be?

Accepted Answer

The color of your primer can make a big difference to your result and how many coats you need. We stock primers in a wide variety of colors, including beige / cream, gray, and yellow / gold. As a rule of thumb, select white for a light topcoat, gray for a dark topcoat, and tinted primer for a bold, vibrant topcoat.

Question 5

Do professional painters use a specific primer?

Accepted Answer

Professional painters choose primers based on surface type, project requirements, and durability goals, often sticking to high-quality, reliable brands. Pros know how to select the right primer for the type of surface, ranging from bonding primers for glossy surfaces to stain-blocking primer for restoration jobs. At The Home Depot, we carry primers made by the same top names professionals know and trust so that you can complete your next DIY project with confidence.
