Interior primer is a preparatory coating applied to interior surfaces before painting. Its primary function is to create a smooth and uniform base for the topcoat of paint.
When to use Interior Primer?
interior primer in various situations to ensure a successful and durable paint job. Here are some scenarios when using interior primer is recommended:
New Surfaces: When painting newly installed drywall, plaster, or wood surfaces, applying primer is essential. Primer helps seal the surface, promotes better adhesion of the paint, and creates a smooth base for the topcoat.
Repairs: If you’ve patched holes, cracks, or damaged areas on walls or ceilings, using primer before painting is crucial. It helps blend the repaired areas with the rest of the surface and prevents the patched areas from standing out.
Stain Blocking: When dealing with stains like water spots, smoke damage, or tannin bleed from wood, using a primer with stain-blocking properties is recommended. This prevents the stains from bleeding through and affecting the appearance of the topcoat paint.
Color Changes: When changing the color of walls or ceilings, especially when going from a dark color to a lighter one or vice versa, using primer can help achieve better coverage and color accuracy. It also helps in minimizing the number of topcoat paint layers needed.
High-Traffic Areas: In areas prone to heavy use or moisture exposure, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or hallways, using a high-quality primer can enhance the durability and performance of the paint, making it more resistant to stains, moisture, and wear.
Adhesion Improvement: If the surface has a glossy or slick finish, such as previously painted surfaces, laminate, or tile, using a bonding primer can improve the adhesion of the paint and ensure long-lasting results.
