The Advantages and Benefits of Using Primer Paint: Why Choose Turbolux Exterior Wall Primer

Primer paint is an essential step in the painting process that often gets overlooked. Whether you’re preparing your walls for a fresh coat of paint or renovating exterior surfaces, using a high-quality primer can make all the difference. In this blog, we’ll discuss the advantages and benefits of primer paint, how to apply it to walls, and why our brand, Turbolux Paints, stands out with its exceptional Turbolux Exterior Wall Primer.

Advantages of Primer Paint

1. Improves Paint Adhesion
   • Primer creates a smooth and uniform surface, allowing the topcoat of paint to adhere better. This results in a more durable and longer-lasting finish.
2. Enhances Paint Durability
   • By providing a solid base, primer helps the paint to withstand environmental elements, reducing the likelihood of peeling, cracking, or blistering over time.
3. Blocks Stains and Conceals Imperfections
   • Primer can effectively block stains from previous paint jobs, water damage, or other blemishes. It also conceals minor imperfections on the surface, ensuring a flawless final coat.
4. Saves Time and Money
   • Using a primer can reduce the number of topcoat layers needed, saving you both time and money on paint and labor.
     

Why is Primer paint important?

Primer is a preparatory coating that’s applied to surfaces before painting. It’s a key part of the painting process and can provide many benefits, including:

• Strong base: Primer provides a strong base for your undercoat or topcoat to bond to.

• Protection: Primer can help prevent mold and protect surfaces from the elements.

• Adhesion: Primer can improve adhesion between painted surfaces.

• Light surfaces: Primer can create light surfaces over existing dark colors.

• Smooth surface: Primer helps the topcoat adhere to the surface, which makes the paint look better and last longer.

• Even layer of paint: Primer helps to ensure an even layer of paint, so you don’t end up with uneven patches.

• Hide surface stains: Primer has been developed to hide surface stains so that the color is all that shines through.

• Cover imperfections: Primer covers imperfections such as areas of your wall that may have been patched or repaired 

How to Apply Primer Paint?

• Clean the surface

Make sure the surface is clean and even before applying primer.

• Use a brush or roller

Some recommend using a brush to “cut in” around edges, then using a roller to fill in. You can dampen the brush or roller with water for latex primer, or paint thinner or mineral spirits for alkyd or oil-based primer.

• Apply primer

Dip the brush into the primer and tap it against the side of the container to remove excess. Apply the primer in long, even strokes in one direction, working from top to bottom. Use a roller to cover the entire roller with primer, then roll off any excess on the ridged area of the tray.

• Apply multiple coats

Most painting projects require two coats of primer. Apply primer liberally and allow it to dry completely before applying the final coat of paint. Depending on the color and surface of the wall, you may need one or two coats.

• Let it dry

Most latex primers dry to the touch in 30 minutes to one hour, but it can take up to three hours for the primer to completely dry. For best results, don’t paint until the primer is completely dry
