Low Odor - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

Which paint primer hides imperfections the best?

Accepted Answer

Stain-blocking primers are designed to fill minor surface flaws, creating a smooth, uniform base while hiding discoloration, water marks, and smoke stains. Select a primer with a thick formula to bring out the best in damaged drywall or uneven surfaces. For walls with significant imperfections, spot-patch areas you want to hide with joint compound or level the surface with a high-build primer.

Question 2

Can I use a primer instead of paint?

Accepted Answer

There are situations where you can use a primer instead of paint. Primer alone is often enough when you need temporary coverage before construction is complete, when you are covering utility spaces where appearance doesn't matter, or when you are using a primer-paint combo product. However, primer without paint leaves a porous surface that can absorb dirt and moisture, leaving you with a flat and unfinished result that can chalk or wear down over time. When you want color, protection, and a washable finish, always include paint as part of your process.

Question 3

Do you have a primer that can help with mildew in a bathroom?

Accepted Answer

For the best results, clean your bathroom with a mildew-killing solution, let it dry completely, and wait one hour before applying a moisture and mildew-resistant primer. Formulated to inhibit mold growth, seal surfaces, and strongly adhere to tiles, drywall, and trim, this special primer creates a clean and healthy environment complete with a professional and long-lasting paint job.
