Questions & Answers
Can this help prevent rust on swing hardware made from zinc?
Asked by grizzberries June 11, 2021You can paint over the rust and it will adhere, however I don't think this primer has any rust preventing abilities
In your answer to a customer's question, you state this product is "good over galvanized metal, b...
Asked by Terrence June 6, 2021I think your question is one of terminology. I consider water based, latex and acrylic paints to be one and the same. Cleanup afterward is water or soap and water. Don't overthink it. Oil based is probably more durable as a topcoat in your situation anyway.
I primed my kitchen ceiling & walls with 2 coats of this and like the bright white color... Do I ...
Asked by Bbcashew June 5, 2021I'm not an expert, but I don't think using a primer as a finish coat is a great idea. It's not going to be as tough or stain resistant as a paint, and you'll just end up having to face the whole project again in a few years. For a kitchen, I would look for a really durable paint that can handle a little sponging if something splatters. I don't think you necessarily need a semi-gloss. There are washable flat paints. Satin is also an option—a bit of sheen, but more forgiving than semi-gloss. If you really like the look of the primer, you could even have a paint store match that specific shade of white.
