Smoke Cover

Question 1

Is primer the same as an undercoat?

Accepted Answer

Primers and undercoats serve similar purposes, but they're not the same thing. Primers create a good base for paint, while undercoats are designed to color a surface before painting. Undercoats are essentially tinted primers that help to create a more even color base for your final coat of paint.

Question 2

Do different surfaces require different primer types?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry primers for laminate, all surfaces, and ceramic.

Question 3

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 4

What are the top paint primer brands?

Accepted Answer

We carry a wide range of top-rated primer brands, including Fiberlock, KILZ, and Zinsser.

Question 5

How do I choose the right primer color?

Accepted Answer

Choose the right color that is most compatible with your project. We offer clear, white, or primers.

Question 6

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.
