Black - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

What size primer should I buy for my project?

Accepted Answer

The right amount of primer for your project depends on the area you need to cover and how many coats you need. For smaller touch-ups or craft projects, you may only need a quart or even a pint to get the job done. For larger rooms or multiple projects, a 1-gallon or larger container ensures you have enough primer to complete your project without running out.

Question 2

Why should I prime a wall before painting?

Accepted Answer

Priming your wall before painting offers many benefits, including better adhesion for a more uniform appearance, better sealing for a smooth and consistent topcoat on porous surfaces, improved color coverage with fewer coats, enhanced durability to resist cracking, peeling, and moisture damage, and a long-lasting finish. For more useful tips and helpful advice, read our guide on how to prime a wall.

Question 3

How do I know which primer works with my paint?

Accepted Answer

Compatible paints and primers ensure the best adhesion, finish, and durability. Always match the base of your paint to the base of the primer, and consider the surface to find the best primer for the job. We carry primers with all sorts of features like fire retardant, one coat coverage, and tintable to help you complete your DIY project like a pro.
