PRIMERS, SEALERS AND UNDERCOATS
Whether painting a newly built complex, reviving an old piece of furniture, or simply redecorating your home, surface preparation is critical when undertaking any painting project. Equally important is applying the correct primer or sealer for your substrate, to ensure long term protection and optimal top coat performance.
Once sufficiently prepared, simply choose the correct primer for your substrate from the table below and follow the instructions for that product.
