Question 1

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 2

What are the top paint primer brands?

Accepted Answer

We carry a wide range of top-rated primer brands, including Glidden, Ze-Vo, and ECOBOND LBP.

Question 3

Why should I use a primer if I'm painting over existing paint?

Accepted Answer

Using primer over old paint might seem like extra work, but it can actually make painting easier and look better in the end. Primer helps seal the previous paint, preventing the new paint from bleeding through and creating an uneven finish. It also provides a consistent surface for the new paint to adhere to, ensuring smooth coverage and preventing uneven color patches.

Question 4

What are the benefits of using a stain-blocking primer?

Accepted Answer

Stain-blocking primers are specially formulated to prevent stains, tannins, and other imperfections from bleeding through the final paint or stain. This is especially important when working with surfaces like wood that can have knots or discoloration. Using a stain-blocking primer will ensure your paint job looks clean and even without any unwanted surprises.
