Question 1

Which brand of primer should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a brand is all about finding what works best for you. We offer brands like Rust-Oleum Professional, KILZ 2, and KILZ.

Question 2

Can I apply primer with a roller?

Accepted Answer

Rollers are an excellent option for applying primer, especially for large surfaces like walls and ceilings. Choose a roller with a nap appropriate for the surface you're working with, and remember to use a smooth and even rolling motion for optimal coverage.

Question 3

What type of primer should I use for my wood furniture?

Accepted Answer

When working with wood furniture, you'll want to choose a primer designed specifically for wood. These primers are often oil-based and provide excellent adhesion to the wood grain, preventing the paint from peeling or flaking over time. Additionally, look for a primer to block tannins and knots in the wood, as these can bleed through the paint and cause discoloration.

Question 4

What is the difference between a flat and a semi-gloss primer?

Accepted Answer

The sheen of a primer refers to its level of reflectivity. A flat primer has a matte finish, offering a subtle, non-reflective look. This is a good choice for walls and ceilings, as it can help to hide minor imperfections. On the other hand, a semi-gloss primer has a more reflective finish, which can help highlight the surface and make it more durable. This is a good choice for areas with high traffic or needing easy cleaning, like trim or doors.
