How to choose the right primer for your surface?

To choose the right primer for your surface, consider the following factors:

1. Surface type: Different primers are designed for specific surfaces such as wood, metal, plastic, or drywall.
2. Surface condition: Consider if the surface is porous, smooth, glossy, or rusty and choose a primer accordingly.
3. Paint type: Some primers are formulated specifically to work with certain paint types, such as oil-based or latex paints.
4. Location: If the surface is in a high moisture area or is exposed to extreme temperatures, choose a primer that is suitable for those conditions.
5. Stains and odors: If the surface has stains or odors, choose a primer that is specifically designed to address these issues.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and do a test patch to make sure the primer and paint are compatible with the surface and that you are satisfied with the results.
