Using primer is often skipped or thought of as an unnecessary step in the painting process, however using primer provides many benefits. Here are a few:
- Primer seals new or repaired drywall, masks imperfections, and provides a smoother finish.
- Primer helps paint adhere better to the surface.
- Primer increases the durability of the finish.
- Primer can reduce overall paint cost because it generally cost less than paint. In case you’re making a drastic color change from a dark to a light color, you can paint a few coats of a tinted primer and reduce the number of paint coats you need.
