Primer On Repaints

Robert S

do you use primer on repaints if the origenal paint is sound?and if origanel is a lighter or simaler color?

i usally go two coats but if its a darker coat i will use a primer sealer .if the old paints good i will go to coats if needed i was taught that two thin coats are better than 1 thick coat. that i was always explaining to customers when they say "put it on thick" lol

when I prime I only use a roller, you can prime any area like that in no time. When you cut in with the final color the two coats will cover the nonprimed area.

No way! 2 coats will do it.

Depends on the color, sheen and customer. Oh, and price.

I just bid a new construction with frazee velvin on the walls. I don't trust that paint, but the walls are all knock down. No need to prime. With a sheen the high spots will still contrast with the low spots. If the walls were smooth, I'd prime over it.

Good existing paint gets pole sanded. If it's semi-gloss, I would probably prime a respectable paying repaint.

only prime when I have to
