Ask an Expert - How to use primers

Welcome to Ask and Expert! In this episode, Resene Paint Expert Jay Sharples talks you through the intricacies of primers and undercoats.

It doesn’t matter if you’re painting weatherboards, walls, a fence or a piece of furniture, the surface needs to be properly prepared to ensure the ultimate finish, longevity and durability. Jay explains that the primer is the most important coat of paint – the final result is totally dependent on the primer doing its job.

Primer provides a smooth canvas and excellent adhesion for the new paint you’ll be applying on top, and it also protects the surface you’re painting on. Ideally you need to apply your chosen topcoat within four to six weeks of applying your primer.

Primers come in colours that block out harmful UV light, and stop moisture reaching and potentially damaging the substrate you’re painting on. They also seal the surface and help subsequent coats of paint from sinking in and losing gloss over time.

The undercoat is similar to the primer as it provides a base for the topcoat to stick to. It prevents moisture getting in and helps even out small imperfections.
