To Prime Or Not To Prime?

Have you ever won­dered if you need to prime your walls before paint­ing? Well, it all depends on the exist­ing sur­face. A primer cre­ates a strong bond between the exist­ing sur­face and the new coat of paint. If you are apply­ing a light col­or over a dark­er one, using a primer tint­ed with the final paint col­or is a great choice for insur­ing max­i­mum cov­er­age with only one or two top coats.

A sur­face you always want to prime before paint­ing is bare wood. Prim­ing bare wood helps to cre­ate a seal over the porous wood allow­ing the paint to stay where you put it, on the surface.
