Clean Metal - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

Which paint primer is the most common?

Accepted Answer

The most common paint primer is a water-based, general-purpose latex primer, which works well on a variety of painted surfaces. This versatile option offers quick drying, easy cleanup, low odor, and compatibility with the most common latex paints. Use latex as your go-to primer for standard interior walls, or upgrade to a specialty primer for problem surfaces, glossy finishes, and bare wood.

Question 2

How do I apply paint primer?

Accepted Answer

For best results, start with a clean, smooth surface with patched-up holes and filled-in cracks. Match the paint primer to the surface, and gather your painting tools. Stir the can well and apply the primer in thin, even coats, using the correct application method, like roller, brush, or aerosol. Follow the recommended drying time on the label, and apply a second coat if you need one. Inspect your primer to ensure a dry, smooth surface, lightly sanding any surfaces that feel rough before you follow up with paint.

Question 3

When would I choose a spray primer?

Accepted Answer

Spray primers are a convenient option when you need to reach tight spots, paint intricate details, or cover large, relatively smooth surfaces with speed and ease. Enjoy a smooth, even finish on cabinets, doors, and metal surfaces for a flawless finish without brush strokes or roller texture. We carry both liquid and spray primers to help you complete the job with confidence.
