5 Gallon - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

What type of primer should I use for my wood furniture?

Accepted Answer

When working with wood furniture, you'll want to choose a primer designed specifically for wood. These primers are often oil-based and provide excellent adhesion to the wood grain, preventing the paint from peeling or flaking over time. Additionally, look for a primer to block tannins and knots in the wood, as these can bleed through the paint and cause discoloration.

Question 2

How does a primer affect the final color of my paint?

Accepted Answer

Primers act as a base for your paint color, so choosing the right one is important for achieving the desired look. If you're working with light-colored paint, using a white primer can help to ensure the color is as true as possible. However, if you're using a darker color, you can use a tinted primer to help create a richer, more vibrant final look.

Question 3

What is the difference between a flat and a semi-gloss primer?

Accepted Answer

The sheen of a primer refers to its level of reflectivity. A flat primer has a matte finish, offering a subtle, non-reflective look. This is a good choice for walls and ceilings, as it can help to hide minor imperfections. On the other hand, a semi-gloss primer has a more reflective finish, which can help highlight the surface and make it more durable. This is a good choice for areas with high traffic or needing easy cleaning, like trim or doors.

Question 4

How do I choose the right primer color?

Accepted Answer

Choose the right color that is most compatible with your project. We offer blue, green, or multi primers.
