Primers |
|
|
|
Interior and exterior bare surfaces – wood, wall, metal. Can
also be used to get maximum adhesion to impervious surfaces eg tile,
melamine, plastics etc
|

Available as "interior only", "exterior only"
and "universal" (ie both interior and exterior). Primers
provide "bonding" (helps the top coat stick to the surface)
and "stain blocking" (prevent stains from bleeding through).
If priming metal, look for anti-corrosion and anti-rust properties
on the can; for wood, check on can for stain blocking properties,
for walls look for a "primer sealer" TIP 1: Logic
tells us darker colours hide better, this is not true - if you're
painting a dark rich colour, use a tinted primer first! If you're
priming wood, use a knotting compound to seal all knotted wood before
priming.
TIP 2: To check if a primer is needed on an already painted
surface, press a piece of transparent tape onto old paint and remove
- if the paint comes off it needs priming.
Coverage per litre: 11sq.m
