Prime Or Not To Prime
I am doing a repaint on large 2 story apts there are about 350 units in there. the first one I put spayed primer on and then did a spray and rollback . My question is did I just waste 30 gals of primer becouse the paint I am putting on colorwheel patet peach and covers well over there much lighter cream satan.
should I just spray &roll and save $ and time ..

Re: Prime Or Not To Prime
Yeah, it really depends on the condition of the substrate and the previous coating.
