Benjamin Moore Paint Primer
When to Use Paint Primer
Benjamin Moore's quality speaks for itself. We at Aurora Paint Pot proudly carry the full line of Benjamin Moore paint primers to help you start your paint project properly.
Many 2-in-1 paint and primer combo formulas are available, but some jobs require starting with a coat of specific primer. We always recommend starting with Benjamin Moore paint primer:
- Primer should always be the first step when painting porous surfaces, like new drywall or wood. Painting without priming first will allow the paint to soak into the surface, requiring more coats of paint for an even finish.
- When going from a dark color paint to a lighter one, a coat of primer will help ensure you see the most accurate version of the new shade.
- If you are covering signs of smoke or water damage. These spots can show through a coat of regular paint; priming first will keep them out of sight.
