Low Odor - PPG - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

Is primer the same as an undercoat?

Accepted Answer

Primer and undercoat serve similar purposes, but they're not the same. While primers prepare the surface, the undercoat prepares the color. In most cases, a primer and a topcoat do the job. However, if you want a high-quality finish or a big color shift, a layer of undercoat should be applied after the primer but before the topcoat. This can give you a more uniform base color and smooth finish, helping the final paint color look more consistent for a dramatic difference.

Question 2

What are some of the best-selling PPG low odor primers?

Accepted Answer

One of our best-selling PPG low odor primers is the Speedhide Zero Pretinted. It's a consistent favorite among DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike, and we're confident you'll love it, too.

Question 3

What kind of primer should I use before painting?

Accepted Answer

The primer you should use depends on the surface and the type of paint you plan to use. A general-purpose primer works well on new drywall, allowing you to cover up previously painted surfaces with easy cleanup. However, you may need a specialty primer for certain situations, such as an oil-based primer for bare wood, a rust-inhibiting primer for metal, a stain-blocking primer for water stains, smoke damage, or strong odors, or a bonding primer for glossy surfaces. Your Home Depot store associate can help you find the right primer for your project.
