Question 1

What kind of primer should I use before painting?

Accepted Answer

The primer you use depends on the surface and the type of paint you'll be using. If you're painting over a previously painted surface, you can often get away with using a general-purpose primer. However, if you're painting over a bare surface, you may need a primer specifically designed for that surface.

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 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 4

What is paint primer used for?

Accepted Answer

Paint primer helps your paint stick better, like a base layer that makes the paint go on smoother and last longer. Find a primer for low odor, smoke cover, or rust-resistant.
