Question 2

Is there a specific primer for wall paint?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The right primer for your wall depends on the condition of the surface and the type of paint you plan to use. For most walls, a general-purpose latex primer gets the job done. However, you may need a stain-blocking primer for surfaces with stains, a bonding primer for glossy or previously painted walls, or a tinted primer for bold color changes and truer colors with fewer topcoat layers.

Question 3

What's the difference between matte, satin, and gloss paint finishes?

Accepted Answer

The difference between matte, satin, and gloss paint finishes comes down to sheen level, appearance, and durability. Matte finishes work best for bedrooms, living rooms, and ceilings, creating a smooth, soft, and no-shine appearance while hiding imperfections. Satin finishes are more durable and washable than matte, creating a slight sheen appearance with a soft, velvety glow ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and kids' rooms. Gloss finishes are the most durable, easiest to clean, and best for stain and moisture resistance, creating a high shine, reflective appearance ideal for trim, doors, and cabinets. Find the best finish for your project in our DIY guide to types of paint finishes, sheens, and textures.

Question 4

Is there a difference in paint primers?

Accepted Answer

Paint primers are designed for different surfaces and purposes. There are latex and water-based primers that dry quick with easy clean-up, oil-based primers that adhere strong and block stains, and specialty primers that seal porous surfaces like concrete, brick, or chalky walls. Choosing the right primer for your project will help you get the best results.
