Question 1

How do I choose the right sheen for my primer?

Accepted Answer

The sheen of your primer will depend on the final look you're aiming for and the surface you're working with. Flat or matte primers are generally best for walls and ceilings, while semi-gloss or gloss primers are better for trim, doors, and areas that need to be cleaned more frequently. Always check the product label for recommendations on the appropriate sheen for your specific project.

Question 2

Should I use a brush or a sprayer to apply primer?

Accepted Answer

While rollers are great for larger areas, brushes are best for tackling smaller areas and corners and achieving a more precise application. Sprayers are also an option, especially for large projects, requiring careful handling and proper ventilation.

Question 3

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 4

Is there a difference in paint primers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are different types of primers for different purposes. Some primers are designed to block stains, while others are better for sealing porous surfaces. Choosing the right primer will help you get the best results.
