Water Based - PPG - Primers - The Home Depot

Question 1

Does paint need a primer?

Accepted Answer

Paint doesn't always need a primer, but it's usually a good idea. Use primer on bare, stained, or glossy surfaces for better paint adhesion and fewer stains. A primer is best for dramatic color changes and for specialized protection in high-moisture areas. Think of primer as insurance, ensuring durability and a professional finish. However, you can probably skip the primer when using paint-and-primer-in-one, when the surface is in excellent condition, and when you're not making a big color change.

Question 2

Which water based PPG primers are the top rated?

Accepted Answer

The SEAL GRIP Gripper 5 gal. White Interior/Exterior Acrylic Primer Sealer is one of our top-rated water based PPG primers. There's no better choice when you need to get the job done right.

Question 3

What's the difference between matte, satin, and gloss paint finishes?

Accepted Answer

The difference between matte, satin, and gloss paint finishes comes down to sheen level, appearance, and durability. Matte finishes work best for bedrooms, living rooms, and ceilings, creating a smooth, soft, and no-shine appearance while hiding imperfections. Satin finishes are more durable and washable than matte, creating a slight sheen appearance with a soft, velvety glow ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and kids' rooms. Gloss finishes are the most durable, easiest to clean, and best for stain and moisture resistance, creating a high shine, reflective appearance ideal for trim, doors, and cabinets.
