Mildew Resistant

Question 1

Which paint primer hides imperfections best?

Accepted Answer

Primers that are designed for covering imperfections are called stain-blocking primers. These primers are often thicker than others and can help fill small cracks and holes.

Question 2

How do I choose the right sheen for my primer?

Accepted Answer

The sheen of your primer will depend on the final look you're aiming for and the surface you're working with. Flat or matte primers are generally best for walls and ceilings, while semi-gloss or gloss primers are better for trim, doors, and areas that need to be cleaned more frequently. Always check the product label for recommendations on the appropriate sheen for your specific project.

Question 3

What is paint primer used for?

Accepted Answer

Paint primer helps your paint stick better, like a base layer that makes the paint go on smoother and last longer. Find a primer for difficult surfaces, universal, or low odor.

Question 4

Should I use a brush or a sprayer to apply primer?

Accepted Answer

While rollers are great for larger areas, brushes are best for tackling smaller areas and corners and achieving a more precise application. Sprayers are also an option, especially for large projects, requiring careful handling and proper ventilation.

Question 5

What color should my primer be?

Accepted Answer

You can choose from clear, gray, or white.

Question 6

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 Seal-Krete, PPG, and RAIN GUARD.
