Yet choosing the right primer can make all the difference in paint adhesion, coverage, and the durability of the result. <\/p>\n

But how do you find your way among all the products available? Which primer should you use on new drywall, a stained surface, or old oil-based paint? In this article, we explain what the different types of primers are for and how to choose the right one for your project. <\/p>\n

text_direction=”default”]Before choosing a primer, it is important to understand its role. Its primary function is to prepare the surface to provide the best possible conditions for the paint to adhere properly<\/strong>. Thanks to primer<\/em>, it is possible to paint surfaces where a finish coat would have difficulty adhering<\/strong> or simply would not last. <\/p>\n

A good primer also helps prevent several common problems,<\/strong> such as peeling, blistering,<\/strong> premature wear<\/strong>, or an uneven finish.<\/p>\n

In some cases, it is even essential to achieve the colour you want<\/strong>. For example, if you want to cover a red wall with white paint<\/strong>, a primer keeps you from applying endless finish coats<\/strong> to make the original colour disappear. <\/p>\n

Finally, even though it is an extra step, primer saves time and money<\/strong>. By improving paint coverage and reducing the risk of failure<\/strong>, it reduces the number of coats needed and allows you to get a durable result from the first application<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Since each surface comes with its own challenges, there are several types of primers, each designed to address a very specific situation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html

let\u2019s clear up a misunderstanding that has spread since \u201c2-in-1\u201d paints appeared on the market.<\/p>\n

\u201c2-in-1\u201d paints are marketed as having a primer built into their formula. While it is true that 2-in-1 paints<\/strong> have improved coverage, they do not seal surfaces<\/strong> and do not cover colours<\/strong> the way a primer does. <\/p>\n

So it is very important not to replace primer with a 2-in-1 paint<\/strong> if your surface has irregularities (refer to the table above).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”3%” top_padding_phone=”10%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”10px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-xs-4″ column_padding_type=”default”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”letter-reveal-bottom” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#88988d” content_alignment=”left” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”03″ font_size=”6vw” font_line_height=”1″ font_size_phone=”65″ font_size_tablet=”70″ text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-xs-8″ column_padding_type=”default”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” font_style=”h2″ content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Primers for previously painted surfaces” font_size=”2vw” text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”5%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”5%” top_padding_phone=”10%” constrain_group_5=”yes” bottom_padding_phone=”10%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”m\u00e9langer”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]This type of primer is the most common, which is why it is also called an \u201call-purpose primer.\u201d You can use it for the vast majority of your painting projects<\/strong>. Its main use is usually when you want to cover a dark colour with a lighter one<\/strong>. Conversely, you can also use it to get better coverage with a dark paint<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

You can also use it to improve the adhesion of your finish paint<\/strong> on your walls. That way, you ensure you increase its durability<\/strong> against wear. <\/p>\n

Another reason to apply a primer? To make sure you cover everything in only 2 finish coats. Since primer<\/em> costs less than finish paint<\/strong>, it can be a good way to save money.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Here are two popular all-purpose primers at Colobar:<\/p>\n
