Saving You Time & Money, While Hiding Imperfections and Getting the Most Out of Your Paint
One of the greatest benefits of primers is excellent paint adhesion. Look at Primer paint as the glue, which will make the paint stick to the surface. And that’s good news since it will keep the paint intact for a much longer time. On top of that, it will show off the color you choose – since it will not be absorbed by the drywall. This is particularly important when you paint walls with dark colors. They won’t fade away down the road.
And one more thing. Since paint adheres better on drywall when you prime first, walls are cleaned easier and without affecting the color. It’s best to apply one coating after priming than two coatings without priming.
Imperfections are also covered better and Drywall primer soaks into the paper of the drywall —covering the areas of differing porosity—and creates a uniform surface to which the finish paint can adhere.
Primers act as a seal, which won’t only block out paint penetration into the drywall but cover small flaws too. Although drywall repair is a must before painting for the best possible results, tiny blemishes are easily covered with the primer. And since this is an extra coating, it insulates the walls better and provides protection against drywall damage.
All in all, what you get is a uniform appearance because the primer will become the base that will protect both the drywall and the color.
