Question 1

What kind of primer should I use before painting?

Accepted Answer

The primer you use depends on the surface and the type of paint you'll be using. If you're painting over a previously painted surface, you can often get away with using a general-purpose primer. However, if you're painting over a bare surface, you may need a primer specifically designed for that surface.

Question 2

What color should my primer be?

Accepted Answer

You can choose from clear, gray, or white.

Question 3

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.

Question 4

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 5

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 KILZ 2, KILZ KLEAR, and Glidden.

Question 6

Why do I need primer?

Accepted Answer

Primer is your secret weapon for a flawless finish. Find the right choice for rust-resistant, low odor, or universal.
