When starting a new paint project, selecting the right color is an important step in making your vision, reality. However, there is one other key step that you'll want to include before applying any paint. While priming can sometimes seem like an unnecessary extra step, a quality primer can do wonders for your painting project.
A primer will help to prepare and seal the surface you're painting. If you're working with something that's already been painted (such as a wall or a piece of furniture), or you're starting with bare wood, a coat of primer will also help to cover any blemishes such as knots or unevenness. Because primer seals the surface of your project, the paint will adhere better, helping you to achieve lasting results. Using a primer can also help you save money. When primer isn't used, paint typically just soaks into the surface, resulting in having to apply more and more coats of paint, costing you both your time and money.
When purchasing a primer, look for one that is specific to the type of project you're completing.
Paint and Primer in one is also another choice. However, the results with a paint and primer in one are not predictable. If there are any stains, the color is more than a few shades lighter than what is already on the surface, or if you're working with new wood, selecting a specific primer is best.
