Hello, we were getting our house painted for the first time. During the process, the painter asked us for the choice of primer paint to be used. So, I asked him what is a primer paint and why do we need it. He told me about it in depth. So, I’ll tell you about the same here.

What is a Primer for Paint?

Primer is a paint which is applied to the surfaces before painting. It helps in building a solid base for the wall. This leads to hiding the surface stains so that the paint colour shines through.

Whenever you paint from dark to light, priming the surface before painting helps to tone down the existing dark colours.

What is Primer Paint Used For?

Primer paint is used for the following:

  1. If you are painting over porous surfaces, you must use primer as it restricts the paint from drawing into the pores. Thus, avoiding an uneven finish. 

  2. If you have a glossy surface, it is tricky to paint on them. But sanding and priming beforehand makes the job easier for you.

  3. If the surface has stains on it, primer is a great way to cover them up and make the surface appear appropriate for painting. 

So, this is all from my side about what is a primer coat. I hope this will help you.
