The Power of Primer

The journey to a flawless exterior paint finish starts with one critical step: priming. In the painting world, a primer is like setting the stage for the main performance.

Why Use a Primer?

• Surface Preparation: Primers ensure a uniform and smooth surface, readying it for the paint.
• Improved Adhesion: Paint sticks better and lasts longer on primed surfaces, reducing the chances of peeling or chipping.
• Colour Enhancement: A primed surface brings out the true vibrancy of your chosen paint colour.
• Protection: Primers can seal off stains, prevent rust, and offer an added layer of protection to your walls.

Choosing the Right Primer:

Wellington’s unique climate requires a primer tailored to its challenges:

• Moisture-Resistant Primers: For homes in areas with frequent rains or dampness.
• Stain-Blocking Primers: Ideal for surfaces with old paint jobs, tannin, or rust.
• Bonding Primers: Best for tricky surfaces where paint adhesion is a challenge.

Before diving into the colourful world of exterior paints, ensure you’ve laid a solid foundation with the right primer. It’s the secret behind every lasting and vibrant paint job.
