ECOBOND LBP - 5 Gallon - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

How do I choose a paint primer?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right paint primer depends on surface type, paint color, and conditions. Use a latex or water-based primer on new drywall, an oil-based primer on bare wood, a rust-inhibiting primer on metal, and a bonding primer on glossy or slick surfaces. You'll want a white or tinted primer for light paint colors, a gray primer for bold or dark colors, and an off-white or light gray primer for pastels. Some conditions require specialized primers, like a mold-resistant primer for high-moisture areas, or a stain-blocking primer for smoke, water, or heavy stains.

Question 2

Can you wait too long to paint after priming?

Accepted Answer

You always want to paint as soon as possible after priming. The primer needs time to dry, usually from a few hours to a whole day, but dust, dirt, or oils can settle if left for too long, reducing the adhesion and the primer's main purpose. Some primers can absorb moisture or harden over time, making them less effective. As a rule of thumb, paint within 24 to 72 hours for latex and water-based primers, and up to a week for an oil-based primer.

Question 4

What's the best way to get a clean line between the wall and the ceiling when painting a room?

Accepted Answer

The secret to getting a crisp, professional-looking line between the wall and ceiling is in the preparation and technique. Use a high-quality painter's tape along the ceiling edge to create a sharp line, sealing the tape by painting over it with the ceiling color first. Wait for it to dry, and then paint your wall, removing the tape while the paint is still slightly wet for a clean edge. Use an angled sash brush to cut-in by hand, being careful not to overload the brush with excess paint that can cause drips and uneven lines.
