What are the top paint primer brands?
At The Home Depot, we know you want high-quality paint primers from the names you know and trust. We carry a wide range of top-rated primer brands, including Rust-Oleum Automotive, Flood, and Zinsser.
What color should my primer be?
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 brown / tan, beige / cream, and clear. As a rule of thumb, select white for a light topcoat, gray for a dark topcoat, and tinted primer for a bold, vibrant topcoat.
Why do I need primer?
Primer takes your paint project to the next level. The extra layer creates a surface that paint can grip onto, ensuring your topcoat looks smooth and uniform. You can paint with fewer stains and more color coverage for longer-lasting results. Find the right choice for mildew & water damage, rust-resistant, or low odor and color your home with professional results for a flawless finish.
Which primer application method should I choose?
The best primer application method depends on your project size, surface type, and desired finish. We carry primer applications for a wide variety of surfaces, including brush, aerosol, and pad so that you can tackle everything from walls and ceilings to furniture and trim.
