Question 1

How does a primer affect the final color of my paint?

Accepted Answer

Primers act as a base for your paint color, so choosing the right one is important for achieving the desired look. If you're working with light-colored paint, using a white primer can help to ensure the color is as true as possible. However, if you're using a darker color, you can use a tinted primer to help create a richer, more vibrant final look.

Question 2

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 3

Do professional painters use a specific primer?

Accepted Answer

Professional painters often use high-quality primers specifically designed for the type of surface they're painting. These primers also help cover stains and make the surface smoother so the new paint sticks better.

Question 4

Which primer should I use for my drywall?

Accepted Answer

For drywall, a good choice is an all-purpose primer designed to work on various surfaces. This primer typically offers excellent adhesion and good hiding power and can be used over new and existing drywall. You can also find primers specifically formulated for drywall, often called "stain-blocking" primers. These are great for preventing any stains or imperfections in the drywall from showing through the final coat of paint.
