Why use a primer?

Something that painters often use is a paint primer. This product can supply you with a stable exterior. As a result, any upcoming paint layers shall have no issue locking onto it. The primer also works by hiding surface stains.

The one thing that normally calls for the inclusion of the primer is the surface’s porosity. If your facet is too porous, too much of the paint is going draw into it. It is also possible for the opposite to be a concern.

The surface could be excessively glossy. When it is, colour coat adhesion becomes tricky. The reason why is that the paint is not able to lock onto anything.

As we mentioned earlier, the primer can hide surface stains, including lower ones. This allows the colour coat to fulfil its purpose of supplying attractive colours. It doesn’t have to worry about the stains.

Skim-coated drywall

Kitchen In Catterick

You might need the paint primer if you have drywall that is skim-coated as well. This coat is very thin and usually laid over bare drywall. People consider a skim coat a level five finish, the highest one possible. As such, it is not something you come across often. Like with drywall paper or bare wood however, it is extremely porous. This means it needs a primer.
