Wood Primers

What size primer should I buy for my project?

The right amount of primer for your project depends on the area you need to cover and how many coats you need. For smaller touch-ups or craft projects, you may only need a quart or even a pint to get the job done. For larger rooms or multiple projects, a 1-gallon or larger container ensures you have enough primer to complete your project without running out.

What kind of paint primer do I need for different projects?

Consider the surface material, condition, and purpose of your project. We carry high-quality primers from industry leading brands with features like dries clear, low odor, and sealer to help you get the job done right.

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

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.
